The Ukrainian pavilion at COP-27 - the UN Climate Change Conference continues its work and has become a meeting place for diplomats and internationals. Among the distinguished visitors to the Ukrainian pavilion was Jeffrey Pyatt, the former US ambassador to Ukraine, and now the US deputy secretary of state for energy resources. Geoffrey Pyatt has just been appointed to coordinate the G7's efforts to help Ukraine rebuild its energy infrastructure damaged by the missile shelling.
During the excursion, Jeffrey Pyatt noted that he is proud of the opportunity to demonstrate G7 support to Ukraine - together with partners from Canada, France and Germany, who also visited the Ukrainian pavilion. According to Pyatt, the Ukrainian pavilion is inspiring and demonstrates vividly the effect and scale of damage caused to russia’s brutal attacks, as well as Ukraine's determination to build a new, more sustainable future.
Jeffrey Pyatt, in turn, emphasized that what he saw in the pavilion helped him understand how Ukrainian society and the Ukrainian government are committed to using this moment also for energy transformation, to be sure that Russia will never again be able to use energy as a weapon. Watch video
For the first time in history, Ukraine presented its pavilion at the COP. The pavilion was organized by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine with the support of the European Union, the Government of Germany, UNDP, UN Global Compact, DTEK, Epam and UNITED24.
For DTEK, supporting the first Ukrainian pavilion at the UN climate conference at a very difficult time for the country, and in particular for the Ukrainian energy industry, is a significant event. For the company, the key right now is to stop russia's energy terrorism as soon as possible, to restore networks and equipment in order to ensure electricity supply to the population and Ukrainian businesses. At the same time, DTEK does not give up on its decarbonization plans, goals of moving away from coal and a full transition to renewable and clean energy sources. These processes continue, despite the war - DTEK is working on new energy storage projects and plans to decarbonize even faster than previously announced.
