EU Environment Accession Push: European Commissioner Jessika Roswall kicked off a visit to Chișinău, backing Moldova’s readiness to open/advance EU accession talks on the environment cluster and stressing that real gains mean cleaner water, air, waste systems and stronger climate resilience. Green Finance Forum: Moldova’s Green Finance and Investment Forum gathered government, banks and partners to scale sustainable projects, with Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu framing the green economy as central to European integration. Water & Wastewater on the Ground: Roswall’s agenda includes a trip to Căpriana to see wastewater treatment and the new sewerage network—practical steps tied to EU environmental obligations. Heating Modernization Funding: Moldova and the World Bank signed a US$1.7m grant to prepare modernization of Chișinău’s heating system, including studies for a new ~250 MW cogeneration plant aimed at cutting fuel use and greenhouse gases. Energy Security Upgrade: Work is also moving on grid resilience, including the Bălți–Suceava 400 kV power line project. EcoVoucher Energy Savings: Another EcoVoucher round supported 336 families with up to 6,000 lei vouchers for efficient refrigerators and washing machines, with old appliances handed in for recycling. Heatwave Warning: A Europe-wide heatwave continues to threaten Moldova and neighbors with temperatures above 35°C, raising health risks and underscoring the urgency of climate adaptation. Biodiversity & Food Exports: FAO-backed field training for table grape growers and a later cherry harvest could help Moldova meet stricter EU requirements and find a better export timing window.
