Accelerating NDC and promoting Sustainable Bioenergy, Agri and Land-Use Practices in Ukraine

For a tran­si­tion to a low-car­bon econ­o­my in Ukraine, a faster imple­men­ta­tion of the NDC is nec­es­sary. The Project aims to accel­er­ate Ukraine’s NDC imple­men­ta­tion while pro­mot­ing the uptake of invest­ments in sus­tain­able bioen­er­gy, agri and land-use prac­tices.

Conservation of highly valuable primeval and old-growth forests in selected national parks in the Ukrainian Carpathians

The Ukrain­ian Carpathi­ans are strong­holds for primeval and old-growth forests in Europe, but face pres­sure from large scale log­ging. Pro­tect­ed areas (PAs) in these forests now also face an acute exis­ten­tial threat as gov­ern­ment fund­ing has all but ceased as a result of the eco­nom­ic pres­sures stem­ming from the Russ­ian inva­sion.

Energy-Efficient District in Lviv

Old com­bined heat and pow­er sta­tions, obso­lete dis­trict heat­ing net­works and inad­e­quate­ly insu­lat­ed build­ings with inef­fi­cient heat­ing lead to high ener­gy con­sump­tion in many Ukrain­ian towns and cities – and con­se­quent­ly to high emis­sions and costs.
