In March 2025, the Ukrainian Climate Network, of which Ecodіya is a part, celebrated its 25th anniversary. To commemorate this significant event, the network organized the #UKM25 marathon — a series of climate-friendly activities that engaged member organizations across Ukraine.
12 organizations participated in realizing the activities, conducting dozens of events in different cities of Ukraine and online, implementing numerous local projects, and continuing to promote the importance of climate change.
25 eco-conscious days during the eco-challenge #FloraClimate25 by the Public Organization “Flora”, which reached over 33,000 social media users and helped them understand how to change their daily habits to be more eco-friendly.
12 thematic online lectures and webinars were conducted.
16 educational initiatives were organized in 9 cities of Ukraine, including interactive sessions with schoolchildren in Cherkasy and Khmelnytskyi regions, the eco-game “Water Footprint” with youth in Kyiv region, and a botanical excursion at the Konotop meteorological station by the Ukrainian Eco Station Network, as well as gaming sessions “Keep Cool” by Ukrainian Ecological Club “Green Wave”.
