Building Legal Pathways to Sustainability in Transitioning Economies: Ukraine’s Experience

Building Legal Pathways to Sustainability in Transitioning Economies: Ukraine’s Experience

About this event

Aligning short-term recovery with long-term sustainability is not easy for transitioning economies, but it is achievable with the right legal tools. In Ukraine, the war has become a catalyst for creative and unprecedented legal solutions that balance resilience, reconstruction, and sustainability. The discussion will explore why sustainability is often perceived as a “luxury” in developing or post-conflict economies, and how law can reshape this narrative — proving that growth and sustainability can reinforce, not contradict, each other.These approaches now offer valuable lessons for other countries facing systemic shocks. This session presents real examples and frameworks that can guide this journey.

  • Global Alignment – See how legal systems can bridge local regulations with international frameworks like the EU Green Deal and global ESG standards.
  • Investment Attraction – Understand how ESG-focused reforms open the door to sustainable finance and international capital.
  • Legal Innovation – Explore how smart policy design and regulatory reform can drive both recovery and sustainability.
  • Applicable Lessons – The experiences shared offer practical glance at the challenges arising in many economies in transition.
