Ukraine

Europe

Ukraine has finalized its TNA process. It has developed Technology Needs Assessments, Barrier Analysis and Enabling Framework reports, Technology Action Plans as well as policy briefs, for adaptation and mitigation.

Ukraine is located in eastern Europe on the Black Sea, and it also border Byelorussia in the north, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Moldova in the west and Russia in the east. After Russia, Ukraine is the second largest country in Europe. With its fertile farmlands, it has great agricultural potential and is among the world’s largest grain exporters. Compared to other European countries, Ukraine is one of Europe’s largest energy consumers, primarily due to its inefficient energy infrastructure. Scientific research show that climate change in Ukraine is having significant impacts on agriculture, forestry, water and the coastal zone, where the level of the Black Sea and the Azov Sea is rising.

Ukraine’s TNA contributes to the following Sustainable Development Goals:

Key technologies prioritized for adaptation

  • Agriculture
    • Drip irrigation in combination with conservation agriculture practices
    • Agroforestry practices (shelterbelt reconstruction)
    • Integrated Pest and Disease Management
    • Development of an agrometeorological early warning system
  • Water management
    • Climate-smart irrigation
    • Drought risk assessment and mapping
    • Flood hazard assessment and mapping

Key technologies prioritized for mitigation

  • Agriculture
    • Organic agriculture
    • Biogas production from animal waste
    • Conservation tillage technologies (low-till, no-till, strip-till, etc.)
    • Production and use of solid biofuels from agricultural residues
    • The use of information and telecommunication technologies in agriculture for the reductions of greenhouse gases emission in agriculture
  • Waste management
    • Methane capture at landfills and waste dumps for energy production
    • Waste sorting
    • Closure of old waste dumps with methane destruction (flaring, bio-covers, passive vent etc.)
    • Aerobic biological treatment (composting) of food and green residuals
    • Mechanical-biological treatment of waste with biogas and energy production
    • Anaerobic treatment (digestion) of sewage sludge
    • Mechanical biological treatment of waste with the alternative fuel production for cement industry
