The potential for increasing energy efficiency in Ukrainian buildings has not yet been fully exploited. The Multi-Donor Trust Fund for Financing the Energy Efficiency Support Programme in Ukraine (EE4U), funded with 20 million euros by the federal government and managed by the International Finance Cooperation (IFC), supports the energy-efficient modernisation of Ukraine’s housing stock.

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.

The building sector is the largest energy consumer in Ukraine with a share of 33%, followed by the industry and transport sectors. With the support of the BMWK and the EU Commission, the Ukrainian government has developed a concept for an Energy Efficiency Fund (EEF) that finances energy efficiency measures for buildings.

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.

The German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) set up climate-policy interface projects (“(IKI) Interface projects”) in order to support its work on climate and biodiversity in selected priority countries of the International Climate Initiative (IKI). The Interface Projects support BMUV in the area of knowledge-sharing and networking in IKI partner countries that have substantial IKI portfolios and which are important partners for BMUV in the field of climate and biodiversity policy. Connecting all IKI stakeholders in Ukraine through in-depth exchange and coordination formats is therefore an important apporach of the Interface Project Ukraine. The Project is run by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.

By signing an Association Agreement with the European Union, Ukraine has agreed to comply with EU climate targets and the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED). A key aspect of achieving these national climate targets will be ensuring that best-available techniques (BAT) are deployed in the country’s industrial infrastructure.

The Ukrainian Climate Office, operating as a project-based initiative, aims to identify regulatory gaps in climate policy and develop effective mechanisms to address them. While the office is currently in its administrative phase, it serves as a critical hub for climate related topics and the enhancement of international negotiation skills, particularly within the framework of the UNFCCC.

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.
