Welcome to the Northern Dimension Environmental Partnership, NDEP

The NDEP is a result-focused initiative responding to calls from Russia and the international community for concerted action to tackle some of the most pressing environmental problems in the Northern Dimension Area.

Through its pipeline of environmental projects in water and wastewater treatment, management of municipal and agricultural waste, energy efficiency and nuclear safety projects for radioactive waste management, the NDEP is helping to deliver real benefits to the environment – and the people – in the whole of the Northern Dimension Area.

The NDEP promotes co-ordination between Russia, the European Commission, partner governments (France, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Finland, UK, Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, Belgium) and international financial institutions (EBRD, NIB, EIB, NEFCO and World Bank) making it easier to secure grant funding and expertise for the implementation of its priority projects.
