Climate Policy

Ukraine is high­ly vul­ner­a­ble to the impacts of cli­mate change and has iden­ti­fied agri­cul­ture, water resources, ener­gy, trans­porta­tion, health, the urban envi­ron­ment and forests, and coastal zone man­age­ment as key adap­ta­tion pri­or­i­ties. As a result of recent decen­tral­iza­tion reforms, com­mu­ni­ties have more auton­o­my in deci­sion-mak­ing, receiv­ing a sig­nif­i­cant share of tax­es. How­ev­er, inter­na­tion­al cli­mate com­mit­ments are not yet ade­quate­ly linked to nation­al poli­cies.
