Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) of Ukraine to a New Global Climate Agreement.

This Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) of the Ukraine is presented in accordance with decision 1/CP.20 UNFCCC. Ukraine defines ambitious, but at the same time substantiated and fair target with regard to the level of GHG emissions. It will not exceed 60% of 1990 GHG emissions level in 2030.
Time frame January 1, 2021 - December 31, 2030. Greenhouse gases considered: (a) carbon dioxide (CO2); (b) methane (CH4); (c) nitrous oxide (N2O); (d) hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs); (e) perfluorocarbons (PFCs); (f) sulfur hexafluoride (SF6); and (g) nitrous trifluoride (NF3).
It shall cover the following sectors: (a) energy; (b) industrial processes and products use; (c) agriculture; (d) land-use and forestry; and (e) waste. An approach to including the land use, land-use and forestry in the climate change mitigation structure will be defined as soon as technical opportunities emerge, but no later than 2020. Ukraine will participate actively in the development of existing international market mechanisms and implementation of new ones. The declared GHG emissions level does not account for the participation of Ukraine in international market mechanisms.
Measures to be adopted: (a) development of a long-term action plan for climate change mitigation and adaptation; (b) designing and implementation of long-term actions aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions; and (c) development and implementation of measures aimed at increasing absorption of greenhouse gases.
Expected outcome: ambitious target on the level of greenhouse gas emissions for 2030 in reference to the base year in amount of 60% is much lower than both the allowed GHG emission level for 2020 and the base 1990-year level. Ukraine will support national adaptation processes in the context of the international commitments in this field. For a medium term outlook, the adaptation activities will be considered with the same priority as mitigation activities.
