4 December 2025 - There Is No Other Cyprus
Volt Cyprus successfully hosted this month’s bicommunal meeting of Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot political parties under the auspices of the Embassy of the Slovak Republic at Ledra Palace.
As the only truly bicommunal political party on the island, we are proud to have brought political leaders together around a shared vision: protecting the environment and ecological future of Cyprus cannot wait for political instability to pass.
The discussion confirmed a common understanding that climate change, wildfires, water scarcity, pollution, and biodiversity loss affect the entire island and require joint responsibility. These challenges do not stop at dividing lines and demand practical, island-wide cooperation.
The meeting reached agreement on key areas for immediate and concrete collaboration:
Coordination in dealing with wildfires and extreme weather conditions
Cooperation on waste management and recycling
Joint environmental monitoring and data sharing
Joint work on water management and climate resilience
Protection of biodiversity, natural habitats, and Natura 2000 sites
Broader use of renewable energy resources
Harmonisation with the EU environmental acquis
This meeting showed that cooperation is possible, even under difficult political conditions, when the focus is on safeguarding our country and our shared future. Environmental cooperation builds trust through action and lays common ground for what must come next.
There is no other Cyprus. Protecting it must be a shared commitment, now.
