Green Transition Assessment Ukraine

The report benchmarks Ukraine's green transition readiness across 12 sectors, emphasizing that post-war reconstruction offers a strategic opportunity to implement sustainable development and 'build back better' principles. It identifies high-level governance, green skills development, and integrated land use planning as critical priorities for the next 3 to 5 years to ensure national resilience and alignment with EU membership requirements.

• Ukraine's path to a green transition is shaped by its commitment to European Union integration and the opportunity to use post-war reconstruction as a catalyst for sustainable development, potentially serving as a model for other EU enlargement candidate countries.
• Critical challenges for the next 3 to 5 years include the need for high-level governance to ensure consistency across sectors, the development of green skills, and the implementation of integrated land use planning to balance infrastructure development with the restoration of degraded lands.
• The transition requires overcoming war-induced disruptions in industrial capacity and human resources through multi-stakeholder initiatives and international support to modernize high-emission infrastructure and adopt green technologies.
