Launching “A Sustainable Tomorrow: Youth Visions for Rebuilding Ukraine”

As Ukraine faces the devastating impacts of Russia’s full-scale invasion and the challenge of reconstruction, young people across Europe have come together to offer a sustainable, forward-thinking vision for the country’s future. The Rebuild Ukraine Ambassadors – a group of 20 young leaders aged 17 to 27 from Ukraine and beyond – have spent six months researching, consulting experts, and developing strategic proposals, now published in their vision paper: A Sustainable Tomorrow: Youth Visions for Rebuilding Ukraine.

The EYP launched the Rebuild Ukraine Ambassadors Programme in 2023 with the support of the E.ON Foundation, expanding it in 2024 in partnership with the German Federal Foreign Office. The project gives a platform to young perspectives on Ukraine’s reconstruction, focusing on economic recovery with social and environmental considerations in the country’s post-war rebuilding and European integration.

The Ambassadors’ work showcases youth leadership, European solidarity, and shared responsibility in supporting Ukraine’s recovery. Throughout 2025, they will present their findings to decision-makers, politicians, NGOs, and civil society actors. The EYP invites stakeholders to read, share, and support the vision paper.
