On 10 May, the Covenant of Mayors – the world’s largest climate and energy movement – conducted a high-level conference on green recovery in Lviv, Ukraine.
The event was dedicated to the post-war recovery and reconstruction in Ukraine, with a focus on practical strategies.
The conference brought together mayors and representatives from about 200 Ukrainian municipalities to discuss their achievements and common problems within the framework of the Covenant of Mayors.

At the conference, energy efficiency was highlighted as an important component of reconstruction.
