enterprises in solving of interrelated
financial, economic, environmental & social
problems.
• Geography of JI Projects in Ukraine:
industrially developed Eastern regions,
central and southern regions.
UKRAINE:
• Is intended to use its reserve of national quota of GHG
emissions to attract foreign investments
• Supports the idea of prolonging use of the Kyoto protocol
mechanisms
• Supports the idea of longer commitment period (up to 10
years) as some projects’ cycles are longer then 5 years
• Considers the technology transfer mechanism to be a very
effective tool and is ready to support development of the
free technology transfer mechanism
• Is interested in implementing projects in the forestry sector
