Third Conference “Low Emission Development of Ukraine” was held on 26 September 2017. It was co-organized by the USAID Municipal Energy Reform Project in Ukraine and the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine. Ostap Semerak, Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources, Ostap Yednak, People’s Deputy of Ukraine and Secretary of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Environmental Policy, Nature Management and Liquidation of Chernobyl Disaster Aftermath, and Farhad Ghaussy, Director of USAID Office of Economic Growth, addressed over 110 conference participants with the welcoming remarks.    

Holding of this important event became another step in the process of development and further implementation of Ukraine’s Low Emission Development Strategy, which is an important and pressing task for this country as an integral part of the progressive world community.

Based on the best international practices, we have laid the following principles in the basis of Ukraine’s Low Emission Development Strategy:

•  step-by-step approach,

•  use of the modern modelling instruments,

•  inclusiveness of the process of identifying the policies and measures, which means involvement in the strategy development process of the widest circles of stakeholders.
