Welcome to the Northern Dimension Environmental Partnership, NDEP

The NDEP is an innovative cooperative effort responding to calls from the Russian Federation and the international community for a concerted effort to tackle some of the most pressing environmental problems in north-west Russia.

Through its pipeline of projects in water, wastewater, solid waste, energy efficiency and nuclear waste management, the NDEP is helping to deliver real benefits to the environment – and the people – in the Northern Dimension Area extending from the Baltic Sea to the Arctic Barents Sea region.

The NDEP provides a strong international framework, backed by adequate financial resources, for governments, international financial institutions, private investors, Russian authorities and all concerned to work together in bringing solutions to the region’s long-standing environmental problems. To this end, the NDEP gathers, for the first time, the expertise and resources of the European Commission, the Russian Federation, EBRD, EIB, NIB and the World Bank in designing and implementing its pipeline of projects.
