Countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia are facing simultaneous and interconnected challenges threatening development achievements and future social, economic and environmental progress: conflicts, environmental degradation, energy security, and economic diversification. The impact of these challenges is mostly felt at the local level and by local communities.
