Abstract: The European green deal exerts a new impact of how to organise international environmental policies, especially in the so-called European neighbourhood. After the Ukraine conflict, a new momentum has reached the countries of the eastern neighbourhood, including Moldova, to tighten their relationships with the discourse-based administrative procedures of the European Union. For that target, however, a voluminous amount of policy-relevant tasks has to be managed successfully, for which the EU Twinning projects provide a helpful organisational framework, which in addition is carried by the EU. The present article describes which concrete tasks allow to bridge existing gaps in the fields of air pollution, air quality, waste, circular economy, and environmental data.

Keywords: environmental transition; Moldova; EU; Twinning; air quality; chemicals; circular economy; environmental data; EU Accession; European Green; deal.
