Street Work.
For the street work, an exhibition installation
was made, being composed of 10 double-sided
stands and spreading up to 15 to 20 meters in
the expanded form. The subject-matter of the
stands includes the climate change science, the
main sources of greenhouse gas emissions, the
consequences of the global climate changes
(globally and for the Ukraine), the technologies
and actions required to solve the problem: the
transportation, energy efficiency, renewable
energy sources, domestic waste, forest
conservancy, why nuclear energy would not
save the climate, and a stand on the activities of
8
environmental NGOs. In addition to the
exhibition, booths had been installed to gather
signatures and to communicate with the people,
together with a toy locomotive powered by a
solar battery.
The volunteers, who had been working on the
street, were communicating with the interested
visitors, hading out information materials,
answering questions, telling about the operations
of environmental NGOs, and collecting
signatures under the petition to the local
authorities regarding the resolution of the
environmental issues associated with the climate
change. A large majority of people agreed to leave their signatures and addresses on the petition right
away; however, some people were afraid to do so, and some people did not believe that this could
change anything. In general, we do believe that
the very fact of the signature collection does bring
positive results: (1) the people are starting
realizing the connection between the global
climate changes and the resolution of the local
environmental issues, (2) the public is becoming
more critical towards the authorities and willing to
state their demands, (3) the signature under the
petition means that one is not simply an observer
at a campaign, but an active participant thereof.
Depending upon the city, 300 to 700 visitors had
been communicated with for six hours when the
exhibition was open.
The majority of the visitors were approached by us for them to donate for the operation of
environmental NGOs. The main purpose was not the very fundraising (since the people were barely
leaving anything), but to nurture the idea that one should not simply wait for the authorities to make a
move, but to demand that they do so; and that such activity may be conducted on the funds raised
from the sympathetic residents and subject to the voluntary support being rendered by volunteers in
the organizations’ work.
In general, the public was responding to the
exhibition with curiosity and interest; the
people were looking through the photographs
and reading the comments thereto. It was nice
to dialogue with the people, who agreed to all
the aspects and to the need to act, with teachers
and university professors, who were visiting
the exhibition and taking the materials for
further work with their students, with the
people, who were asking for the contact
information of the companies, where they
could purchase a wind station or solar station.
9
Having compared the public’s response to the
exhibition in various regions of Ukraine, we
have noticed a tendency of being more interested
in the exhibition (and in environmental issues in
general) in Western regions of Ukraine.
Furthermore, in Western Ukraine, people are
more aware of the environmental issues. And
this is while the mayor pollution is in the Eastern
Ukraine. The volunteers, who had been working
with the public and collecting signatures, got the
impression that the toughest situation was in
Dnipropetrovsk, - few people stopped while
passing by the exhibition, and young people
were even less interested. While discussing the environmental issues with the public along with the
need to demand that the authorities do something about solving such environmental issues, we were
facing a very pessimistic response to the fact that something might change for the better, and even
less often had we seen the hopes that the authorities would respond to the people’s demands. We had
that feeling of the total depression.
We have also notices that the people in Western regions had been more willing to sign the petition to
the regional/municipal administration regarding the resolution of environmental issues.
Aside from the overall informational work with the public on the climate change issue, we would like
to point out the positive emotions of many people, who were saying, “And we thought that nobody
cares about environmental issues” or “at least somebody handles that.” People were leaving
donations, signing the petition, and feeling that they had also joined the environmental work.
Media
We are pleased with the number of the
journalists, who were present in each of the
cities. There had been several TV channels,
radio channels, and newspapers everywhere.
Each journalist, who came to the exhibition or to
the round table, was given a package of all the
information materials. The television coverages
are long enough and, due to a number of events
held within the tour, the content thereof is
correct.
All the important questions are being raised,
both on the reason for the climate change
specifically caused by the human activity, and
on the commitment of Ukrainian environmental
organizations, and on the meetings with the local authorities, and on the collection of signatures, and
on the connection between the resolution of local environmental issues and the struggle against the
climate change, and on the suggestions about what each individual could do to mitigate the impact
upon the climate.
Overall, 32 printed press articles have been collected together with 53 articles published on the
Internet, 27 television coverages, and 18 radio coverages.
Through the preliminary work carried out before the tour, now each local organization possesses a
personal contact with the journalists. Moreover, while writing articles on the climate change, chances
10
are that the journalists will be approaching local
coordinators for comments. This is extremely
important since scientists often disregard the
climate change issue in itself, or do not consider
the human activity to be the main reason for
that, while the local climate coordinators are
working in a climate group and have all the key
information.
All the journalists got a number of materials,
which will be further used when writing articles
on the climate change. This holds out hope that
in Ukraine there will be more articles, which
will rest upon international scientific findings
and official data on the climate change, rather than upon fantastic theories of individual scientists.
Round Tables
The main objectives of the round tables:
� Informing about the global climate change issue and about the associated hazards for the
development of the region.
� Giving recommendations to the local authorities for the specific actions on the reduction of
greenhouse gas emissions.
� Explaining what the Kyoto Protocol is, how the joint implementation mechanisms function, and
what the local authorities could do for a wider use of the mechanism in the region.
While planning the round tables, we were
inviting the representatives of the local
environmental protection agencies, public
utilities, transportation, energy, economy,
education, environmental inspectorate, deputy
mayors, heads of the regional administration, and
deputies of the municipal and regional councils,
and were counting upon 10 to 15 attendants.
The attendance of the invited ones was different
in different cities. And although at least ten
participants had been attending the round tables,
not in all the cities those were the very public
officers being our key target group. Thus, the
biggest number of the present public officers had been in Marhanets, Cherkasy, Ternopil, and Rivne.
We did not schedule a round table for Kamyanets-Podilskyi since the work fell within a weekend;
however, a local organization decided to try to organize the round table and even on Saturday we had
22 participants including several public officers, - a deputy of the district council, a representative of
the emergency management agency etc.
The toughest situation associated with the attendance of public officers turned out to be in
Khmelnytskyi, - due to an emergency meeting of the executive committee, the only public officer
was the head of the environmental protection agency; a representative of the institute of teachers’
retraining, a representative of the local water treatment plant were also present, with almost all the
others being journalists.
11
Likewise, a tough situation turned out to be in Lviv, where the mayor audience included university
professors and journalists, and the public officers were a deputy and the environmental inspectorate.
When evaluating the preliminary work by the local organizations, the following conclusions can be
drawn:
� A comprehensive work had been conducted everywhere and a number of personal meetings had
been held to invite to the round table. The tour coordinators had also given a lot of time to the
event for the preparation and to assist the local organizations in their work;
� The organizations’ experience of holding round tables in the past did not always mean a good
result. For example, in Marhanets and in Rivne, such meetings had been held by the
coordinators for the first time and good results were achieved. In Lviv and Khmelnytskyi, the
complete audience of the local public officers failed to be gathered;
� In general, the organization of such event by the very NGOs is a positive factor. We have
noticed that, as a result, the local authorities’ acknowledgement of their local organizations has
increased, and from now on the authorities will respond to their petitions in a different manner.
When evaluating the authorities’ response to the very round table, the following conclusions can be
made:
� The climate change issues are not in
the agendas of the local authorities. In
Ukraine, there is no legal framework,
which would bind local authorities to
develop and implement climate
protection regulations, and, as a result,
these issues are not being relevant to
the participation of the same;
� In all the cities, we were facing a very
low awareness of the climate change
issue and of the Kyoto Protocol
mechanism. The fact that local public
officers have no information, which
would come from the Ministry of the Environment, also creates obstacles and unwillingness to
participate in such events;
� Almost in all the cities, local public officers had been pointing out the lack of workshops for
officials on the issues of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and Kyoto Protocol
implementation and the lack of the developed guidelines on the planning and implementation of
the local measures associated with the mitigation of the impact upon the climate;
� In all the cities, public officers became very interested in the Kyoto Protocol mechanisms and
showed the initiative to hold the respective workshop for the CEOs of the production plants and
utility companies in the region/city. In Rivne, the workshop is already scheduled for November
30th
;
� In the course of holding discussions with the representatives of the local authorities as to the
feasibility of implementing certain measures, a number of institutional and statutory problems
getting in the way of the implementation thereof was discovered. Almost everything bears
against “the lack of the proper governmental policy”, and, as a consequence, a number of
measures are impossible to be implemented even given the local initiative.
12
Hereto we have attached the copies of the signed resolutions, among which almost in all of the cities
it had been decided to address the Ministry of Natural Resources regarding the holding of a workshop
on the Kyoto Protocol mechanism (the template letter is hereto attached), the creation of the working
group on the climate change issue, and regarding the conduct of an energy audit in the city.
All the participants of the round table received informational materials provided by the British
Council and the materials of the Ukrainian NGO Working Group on Climate Change. Additionally,
for a city or region, the technique for planning local climate protection measures for cities being
translated into Ukrainian, and the A. Gore film, Awkward Truth, were delivered.
Professional Growth of Environmental NGOs
In the course of the preliminary work for the tour, two meetings of the local coordinators were held, -
on July 11th
and on September 11th
.
At the July 11 meeting, the following questions had been discussed:
� the latest conclusions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change;
� the analysis of the state of the Ukraine’s implementation of the UN Framework Convention on
Climate Change and Kyoto Protocol;
� the purpose of the Climate is Changing. Time to Act! Informational Tour and the scheduled
events;
� the conditions of the participation on the tour; the list of the commitments for the local
organizations, and the financial planning.
At the September 11 meeting, all the scheduled events had been discussed; the organizations were
sharing their experiences, suggesting and discussing the ideas of increasing the efficiency of holding
certain events. Thus, the following questions were included in the agenda:
� The state of obtaining the letters of permission from the municipal authorities on the installation
of the exhibition in the downtown, - the problems, questions, the need to assist
� The state of preparing the work with the media, - the number, whether there are any problems
� The work with the local authorities, - the purpose and program of the meeting, the template
letter of the request to meet. The discussion of the structure of the local/regional authorities to
select the required officers. The discussion of writing a petition from the local NGOs to the
authorities.
� The planning of screening the film at the local academic institutions, and preparing the team of
volunteers for the collection of signatures in the cities.
� The campaigns of the local NGOs within the tour.

Measures section – Ternopil.
Plans for the Future as to Another Climate Tour:
We had been approached by several organizations from other cities, which were not part of the
working group and which wanted to participate in the tour. Due to the fact that the budget was short
and the number of the tour cities for 2007 was great, we said no to the organizations. However, in
order to expand the climate protection activities among the local NGOs and to extend the
membership of the NGO Working Group on Climate Change, visiting the cities is quite advisable.

Rivne
The exhibition was installed on October 18th
on the
central square of the city. While the tour preparation,
an instruction meeting with the students of the
EcoSchool for Municipal Palace of Children and
Youth was held. While the campaign on the Teatralna
Square, the volunteers collected 411 flyers with the
signatures addressed to the Head of the Regional
State Administration.
Further, the volunteers distributed over 400 copies of
the booklets on the Energy Advisory Center. As a
25
consequence, the very next day we received several phone calls with questions from the public.
Working with Media
In the course of the tour preparation, starting from September, we had made phone conversations
with the representatives of the Rivne media, and had sent a short information message, indicating
what exactly would be happening, the purpose, goals, and the approximate date of the informational
campaign in Rivne City.
Thereafter, several meetings were held with the journalists of such editions as Rivne Vechirnye (a
newspaper, weekly circulation – 25,000), OGO Printing House, Rivne Rakurs (a newspaper,
circulation – 16,000).
In late September, we sent out the information message to two television channels, four radio
stations, and eleven printed editions. Further, an agreement with the Rivne Press Club was reached as
to the informing of the media on their part.
While the on-street campaign on the square, the shooting was made by the Rivne 1 television channel.
The coverage was later shown in the local news on Rivne 1. Natasha Vyshnevska gave an interview
to the reporters of the Radio Svoboda, Revnenska Hazeta, and Rivne Vechirnye.
A brief article on the climate change was also published in the Rivne Rakurs newspaper.
Round Table
To organize a round table, we addressed the municipal authorities, namely the deputy mayor, who
suggested that we address the Municipal Administration of Economy. Our proposal received a
positive consideration at the Department of Environment for the Municipal Administration of
Economy, and, after the receipt of the official letter from the Voice of Nature tour initiators, we were
allocated a premise (the Conference Room of the Municipal Administration of Economy).
Having agreed the list of attendants, we prepared the letters of invitation pursuant to the samples
provided.
The list of the invited to the round table is hereto attached; altogether, 26 individuals were invited.
Prior meetings were held with the majority of the invited, whereat the objectives and purpose of the
event were explained.
As a result, 16 individuals were present at the meeting.
The absence of the Municipal Council deputies at the meeting can be explained by the
commencement of the Municipal Council Session.
In general, the round table lasted for about two hours.
The representatives of the local authorities displayed interest in the discussion of climate change
issues as well as complete lack of awareness of the field.
On the part of the EcoClub, the Energy Advisory Center was presented, which attracted interest on
the part of the invited, and especially on the part of the representatives of housing offices.
Special attention was attracted to the window isolation technique, which had been implemented by
the EcoClub for a long time.
The key suggestions and comments given by the representatives of the local authorities were as
follows:
26
- The request to minimize the process of making design documentation.
- The issue of the lack of relations between various governmental committees.
- To afford the local authorities an opportunity to make their own resolutions regarding
the local transportation (which motor vehicles to purchase, in which way the transport
network is to be modeled).
- The issue of the impossibility for waste segregation, namely the lack of waste
recycling plants.
The attendants had also expressed their interest in holding a regional workshop on the Kyoto Protocol
mechanisms for the CEOs of the production plants and utilities in Rivne Region.
Further Work:
Holding a workshop on the joint implementation mechanism in association with the municipal
authorities on November 30, 2007;
