The project aims to develop a long-term low carbon growth strategy for Ukraine that can be used by the Ukrainian government. It will develop new GHG emission models and projections, prepare a low carbon growth strategy for Ukraine by 2020 and 2050, and enable an domestic emissions trading scheme. The project has a budget of 3.4 million USD over 2 years, funded by the German government. It will be implemented by Thomson Reuters, DIW-econ, and Ukrainian subcontractors and agencies.
