Join us for an informative LinkedIn Live session, where a panel of experts will discuss the critical role of fossil fuel embargoes, especially pertaining to Russian exports, and its implications on the ongoing conflict.

On September 9-10, India will be hosting this year's G20 Summit, an international gathering of leaders of top economies. On this occasion Razom We Stand, together with other Ukrainian NGOs and international partners, appeals publicly to the world's leaders with a demand for responsible and dignified actions: addressing the climate emergency, war crimes and violation of international law by tightening the sanctions against Russia.  

The EU should introduce and fully enforce the embargo on Russian liquefied natural gas in the 12th sanctions package.

This year, the British think tank Carbon Tracker plans to launch a global energy data portal and new ratings and indicators tool for policy makers, financials and industry—the Financial Energy Transition index (FETi). FETi is designed to track and measure the credibility of country-specific energy transition actions and plans. It will create actionable indicators and set standards to forward the energy transition, particularly for economies stuck in transition.

Trends in Europe's use of Russian Liquefied natural gas (LNG), continue to impress. And not in a positive way. 

EU countries, led by Belgium, France, and Spain, have imported Russian LNG representing approximately $20 billion in revenue, since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Are you passionate about driving social change and want to engage Ukrainians worldwide to take action and advance climate action? Join Razom We Stand, formerly known as the #StandWithUkraine campaign, founded by Ukrainian climate and peace activists. Our mission is to isolate and constrict Russia's fossil fuel industry, ending the war in Ukraine and accelerating Europe's transition to renewable energy.

This position is remote and full-time.

A few months ago, at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in London, the European Union announced huge financial support for Ukraine for the period 2024-2027 to help the country recover from the devastating effects of the war.

Ukraine should develop the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) according to the provisions of  Regulation on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action  as a EU membership candidate and party to the Energy Community Treaty. NECP should become the main document for directing reconstruction efforts and associated sectoral policies.

Razom We Stand strongly condemns the global push for gas infrastructure expansion, including LNG terminals, given the dire environmental and climate consequences, as well as financial risks involved in creating stranded assets. With excess windfall profits stemming from market volatility worsened by Putin’s brutal invasion in Ukraine, the gas industry must be subject to taxation and regulation, not supported with public subsidies for their expansion plans.

Recently, on June 20, the European Union approved the long-awaited 11th package of sanctions against Russia, while omitting the embargo on russian LNG or even any mention of import restrictions.

A new study published by a research team of Ukrainian nationals and researchers from Oxford University’s Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment shows that only 33% of spending in the National Recovery Plan, presented by the Ukrainian government in 2022 in Lugano, is likely to support climate mitigation outcomes, well below the 42% European average of state funding deployed to support economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Ukraine Recovery Conference, which took place on 21-22 June 2023 in London, a continuation of its predecessor - the URC 2022 in Lugano, gathered many times more participants and friends of Ukraine who are ready to work together to rebuild it after the war. A spectacular 1,000 public and private sector decision makers attended, from 59 countries, 33 international organisations, over 400 businesses and 130 civil society organisations.

During a high-profile conference on Ukraine's recovery in London, the European Union approved the long-awaited 11th package of sanctions against Russia. EU ambassadors struggled for weeks to reach a consensus, especially for Greece and Hungary to support the final agreement. 

On June 21-22 London held a major Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC-2023) with discussion and decisions on multi-billion investments in Ukraine. In the run up and at the URC-2023, representatives of Ukrainian Civil Society Organisations alongside British religious leaders – including former Archbishop of Canterbury, Sir Rowan Williams and Jonathan Wittenberg, Rabbi of New North London Synagogue – appealed to decision-makers and the business community, who gathered at URC-2023 to ensure that the recovery is green, just, transparent and citizens-lead.

Artists and environmental activists have created a large mural depicting a peaceful, green future for Ukraine outside a major international conference to discuss the country’s reconstruction in London.

On June 20th, Razom We Stand with the support from London Chamber of Commerce and Industry organized a high-level side event in London, featuring a dozen speakers, which showcased Ukraine's vast renewable energy potential. Event entitled "Strategic Deployment of Renewable Energy in Ukraine: Investing in Energy Security" took place in the run up to the highly anticipated Ukraine Recovery Conference 2023 (URC-2023).

Monitoring of recorded losses from the destruction of the Kakhovka HPP (as of 09 June 2023)

G7 leaders pledge billions of aid to Ukraine with one hand, and continue zealously buying Russian fossil fuels with the other. The geopolitical landscape is now more than ever under the control of natural gas. The G7 Hiroshima Summit, which took place from May 19th to 21st, has only further confirmed that the worldwide addiction to fossil gas is the most challenging to eradicate on a global scale.

The Climate Strategies organization released a groundbreaking report titled "Unveiling the True Potential: A Closer Look at Kuzbass and the russian Coal Sector," highlighting the tangible impact of targeted sanctions on russia's economy, as demonstrated by the successful coal embargo.
