Supporting Ukraine in the implementation of the Paris Agreement and Adaptation to the impact of climate change in the Black Sea region (PAABS)

The project supports Ukraine in implementing the Paris Agreement by enabling Ukraine to transition to low carbon pathways and building a climate resilient future. It strengthens the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine to plan, deliver and monitor the respective transformational change. Data and analytical work are provided to relevant target groups for evidence-based decision making and developing long-term net-zero greenhouse gas emission strategies. Data-based sectoral CO2 reduction and pollutant reduction strategies for high emitting industries supported by the project demonstrate the economic benefits of investing in decarbonisation. The project pursues a systematic approach towards adaptation in the water sector including the access to finance and supports local authorities to mainstream adaptation into local development planning. Good practices and methodologies are developed and disseminated for uptake across Ukraine and Black Sea countries.
