November 6 to 18, 2022, the 27th Conference of the Parties (COP27) of the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will be held in Egypt.
It is not only a key international platform for combating the climate crisis,
but also an important lever of influence on the national policy of countries.
All 196 member states of the Paris Agreement, including Ukraine, participate in
the COP to synchronize their climate policies and find solutions to limit the
increase in average temperature at the level of 1.5C from the pre-industrial
period.</P>

attack on Ukraine has put the world in front of serious threats on a global
scale, related to the possibility of a world war, the onset of a nuclear
disaster, and the growing negative consequences of global climate change. The
energy crisis in the world affects the international climate negotiations, and
it is already clear today that without ending the war, it is impossible to
effectively implement the policy of prevention and adaptation to climate change.
The war started by Russia affected other regions of the world: Africa, South
America, Asia. In order to replace Russian fossil fuels, <A

war is financed by fossil fuels. 60% of Russia’s state budget comes from selling
oil and gas. Along with the war, the consequences of climate change in the form
of various cataclysms are growing. The ongoing negative economic effects of
Covid-19 have created huge obstacles to decarbonisation and international
climate cooperation. Taking into account all the negative effects of Russia’s

the EU Green Deal and ratified the Paris Agreement. In 2021, Ukraine updated the

Security and Adaptation to Climate Change. The war certainly pushed climate
action back down the list of state priorities, but the Ukrainian Climate Network
emphasizes that Ukraine must remain true to its climate commitments. It is
important to continue the implementation of commitments already made:</P>

new projects in the field of nuclear energy. Taking into account Russia’s
occupation of the Zaporizhzhia NPP, and at the beginning of the year also the
Chornobyl zone, being under the constant risk of missiles hitting the
facilities of other nuclear plants in the country, and the inability of the
international community to guarantee the safety of the relevant facilities and
the impotence in the face of the terrorist actions of the Russian state, we we
believe that Ukraine should abandon the construction of new nuclear power
plants.

the energy strategy taking into account the new reality – the prospect of
Ukraine’s membership in the EU, the large-scale destruction of existing
capacities and infrastructure, and the increased demands of society for its
own energy security. By 2050, the energy industry of Ukraine must meet the
EU’s goal of climate neutrality, which involves the predominant role of
renewable energy, decentralization of energy systems, fully open energy
markets and their integration into international ones.

to Russian aggression, about 20% of nature conservation areas of Ukraine, and
about a third of the land in general, were affected. Restoration of damaged
ecosystems and agricultural lands will require significant funds and
expertise. During the restoration, it is important to set the goal of
increasing the territories of nature protection status to at least 30% of the
land of Ukraine.

developing national plans, and that coordination of work takes place at all
levels.
