Ukraine's second nationally determined contribution to the Paris Agreement.

The document primarily addresses Ukraine's second nationally determined contribution (NDC) to the Paris Agreement, emphasizing its objectives to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by over 65% by 2035 relative to 1990 levels. It situates these commitments within the national broader legal and policy frameworks. The text underscores Ukraine's recognition of its role in global climate mitigation efforts, highlighting its historical emission reductions and its strategic goals for climate neutrality by 2050, with specific targets for energy sector decarbonization and renewable energy development. Key measures outlined include the development of comprehensive action plans such as the National Energy and Climate Plan until 2030, and the Strategy for low-carbon development until 2050. The document details the scope of emissions coverage, encompassing all sectors and greenhouse gases, and specifies methodological approaches for accounting emissions and absorptions, including the use of national inventory guidelines and models like TIMES. It emphasizes the importance of integrating adaptation strategies, public participation, gender equality, and stakeholder involvement in policy formulation and implementation, with institutional responsibilities assigned to entities like the Ministry of Economy and other government agencies. The document also discusses the role of international cooperation, including participation in market mechanisms and joint projects. Implementation mechanisms involve public consultations, adherence to procedural requirements for policy development, and the adjustment of targets contingent upon the cessation of military conflicts. The timeline extends from 2024 through 2035, with specific focus on post-war recovery aligned with climate-oriented approaches. Secondary themes include procedural transparency, stakeholder engagement, and the integration of adaptation and economic diversification measures, all explicitly articulated to support the national legal and policy commitments to climate mitigation and sustainable development.
