Ukraine has the unique status of being home to some of the richest natural environments and resources in Europe while at the<br />
same time being one of the most heavily polluted countries in the region. <strong>UN</strong>DP’s environmental programme is addressing these<br />
issues through national and sub-regional activities. 2 The financial resources that have been allocated for development, demonstrate<br />
the depth of the <strong>UN</strong>’s commitment to helping Ukraine fulfil its commitment to achieve the Millennium Goals.<br />

PORTFOLIO<br />
To facilitate the development of concrete initiatives that will lead to synergistic approaches in addressing global environmental issues<br />
at the national and local levels, <strong>UN</strong>DP is assisting Ukraine in conducting a National Capacity Self Assessment for Global Environmental<br />
Management. This will lead to integrating global environmental management objectives to national environmental management and<br />
sustainable development frameworks.<br />
Access to sustainable energy has been addressed innovatively in Ukraine with an overall strategy to promote municipal energy efficiency,<br />
through demonstration schemes in municipalities and to facilitate the replication of successful experience in other medium and<br />
large-sized Ukrainian cities. This will be done by reducing major institutional and financial barriers at municipal level. The energy efficiency<br />
project in Rivne is highlighted in the project spotlight section.<br />
Integrated Land Management is addressed by the government and <strong>UN</strong>DP and USAID in Ukraine by developing an overall Agricultural<br />
Policy for Human Development. This intervention will also support the government in developing modern and innovative agricultural<br />
policies based on sustainable development principles.<br />
The main objective of the Consolidation of the Polissya Ecological Corridor programme is to ensure conservation of globally significant<br />
biodiversity in the Ukrainian Upper Pripyat. This will be achieved through strengthening biodiversity conservation efforts in the Shatsk<br />
National Park and the new Pripyat-Stokhod national park. Promoting biodiversity-friendly land use practices in agriculture, tourism,<br />
forestry and fishing sectors through public awareness and environmental education for biodiversity conservation.<br />
