Nordic initiatives for Ukraine

Nefco’s owners, the five Nordic countries, have condemned Russia in the strongest possible terms and expressed wholehearted support for Ukraine.

The Nordic countries are actively supporting a green recovery in Ukraine

Various means of humanitarian aid and rebuilding efforts have already been provided by the Nordic countries. Due to Nefco’s expertise and broad experience in financing green projects and working directly with Ukrainian cities and municipalities, financial support is also channelled through Nefco.

Denmark

Denmark has contributed so far with over EUR 100 million to support urgent green recovery through Nefco.
The Danish funding is provided by Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark and Impact Fund Denmark, supporting selected cities in their recovery activities with focus on infrastructure such as district heating, water supply and wastewater treatment.
