The policy brief addresses the impact of the European Green Deal on Ukraine. Particular attention is paid to the areas of environment, climate and energy.
The negotiation process for Ukraine’s accession to the European Union requires serious work on reforming all sectors and includes the implementation of the entire EU acquis, including policies in the fields of energy, environment, climate change. Ukraine’s ambition to become part of the EU’s ambitious programme to achieve climate neutrality and decarbonisation, as well as concrete steps in this area, dates back to the end of 2019, when the European Commission launched the European Green Deal (EGD). The experience gained by Ukraine in the implementation of EU “green” policies will help to better fulfill its obligations for EU membership in areas closely related to the implementation of the EGD.
In this policy brief, experts tried to analyze the main achievements of the EU in the implementation of the EGD, the EGD impact on Ukraine, in particular in the fields of energy, climate change, environmental protection, and the circular economy. The purpose of the study is to draw conclusions about what key lessons Ukraine should draw in the context of existing challenges and threats, including post-war reconstruction and development.
