Environment and Climate Change

The Republic of Moldova faces significant challenges related to environmental degradation, poor waste management, water pollution and the increasingly visible impact of climate change.

At the same time, these challenges represent real funding opportunities for public authorities, environmental NGOs and local communities wishing to implement sustainable solutions.

External donors are allocating increasing resources to environmental protection projects, circular economy, climate change adaptation and green transition, especially in the context of the Republic of Moldova’s rapprochement with the European Union.
