Green Transition Assessment Ukraine

This report assesses Ukraine's readiness for a green transition across 12 sectors, emphasizing that post-war reconstruction offers an opportunity to implement sustainable development and 'build back better' principles. It identifies critical challenges for the next 3 to 5 years, including the need for high-level governance, workforce reskilling, and integrated land use planning to ensure national resilience and alignment with EU integration goals.

• Ukraine's green transition is analyzed across 12 major sectors, including energy, industry, transport, agriculture, and digitalization. The report focuses on the next 3 to 5 years to protect long-term sustainability goals, covering eight sectoral perspectives, three cross-cutting themes, and necessary financial requirements.
• The transition is viewed as a strategic necessity for national resilience and economic competitiveness. Ukraine is positioned as a potential model for other EU enlargement candidate countries by combining its commitment to European Union integration with post-war reconstruction for sustainable development.
• Significant challenges to the transition include war-induced disruptions to human resources, industrial capabilities, and environmental oversight. Key priorities for the reconstruction phase include high-level governance, strategic planning for land use and green skills development, and the need to reskill the workforce and update high-emission infrastructures using "build back better" principles.
