Since 2003 the CRDP is constantly working to mitigate long-term social, economic and environmental consequences of the Chernobyl catastrophe, to create more favorable living conditions and to promote sustainable human development in the Chernobyl-affected regions.

In addition, the CRDP distributes information about the Chernobyl catastrophe internationally and within Ukraine. </p>
