In September 2024, Rating Group asked Ukrainians about European integration and related issues: post-war reconstruction, environment, and energy. The data was collected for a study by DiXi Group and the Resource and Analytical Center "Society and Environment".

What our partners learned from the data collected by Rating Group:

• There is a significant demand among Ukrainians for information about the EU accession, especially about the impact of reforms on citizens and the potential benefits.
• Respondents consider safety, availability of shelters (58%), as well as energy efficiency and environmental friendliness (55%) to be the most important principles for rebuilding cities and housing.
• Despite the war, Ukrainians note the importance of environmental protection (96%). Restoring nature (forests, reserves) is an extremely important direction of post-war reconstruction (98%).
• Most Ukrainians also believe that they can personally play a role in protecting the environment (75%). Ukrainians are also willing to participate in specific environmental initiatives: planting plants, helping animals, spreading information about environmental problems, and cleaning up in green areas.
• Less than 6% of Ukrainians participate in state energy efficiency programs. This indicates that the coverage of such programs probably needs to be expanded.

The study was conducted with the financial support of the European Union within the framework of the project “Integrating Sustainable Development in Ukraine in Accordance with the European Green Deal” and the Center for Liberal Modernity (Zentrum Liberale Moderne) within the framework of the project “Ukraine in Europe – German-Ukrainian Parliamentary Dialogue, Strengthening Competence on Ukraine in Germany and Promoting Ukraine’s European Integration”. The project was implemented by a consortium of public organizations: “DIXI GROUP” (coordinator), Resource and Analytical Center “Society and Environment”, Association “Energy Efficient Cities of Ukraine”, “Ukrainian Leadership Academy”, “Women's Energy Club of Ukraine”, “DZYGA”, “PLATO”.
