The EU4Environment Progress Review Meeting took place online on 20 November 2025.
As the last implementing partner of the EU4Environment Programme, the World Bank presented progress on country-level and regional activities, communications, and sustainability of the programme’s results.
The meeting brought together the National Focal Points from the Ministries of Environment of the Eastern Partnership countries, representatives of the European Commission and the EU Delegations, EU Member States, civil society, NGOs, academia, the World Bank and representatives of other co-operation programmes in the EaP countries.
Background
Since 2018, the “European Union for Environment” (EU4Environment) Action has helped the Eastern Partnership countries preserve their natural capital and increase people’s environmental well-being, by supporting environment-related action, demonstrating and unlocking opportunities for greener growth, and setting mechanisms to better manage environmental risks and impacts. The programme was funded by the European Union and principally implemented over the 2019-2024 period by OECD, UNECE, UNEP, UNIDO and the World Bank. Over 2025-2026 period, the World Bank will finalise the implementation of programme’s Result 4 area.
