Ukraine
Ukraine is among the highest greenhouse gas emitters, in the world. Ukraine’s high CO2 emissions are related to its exorbitant energy intensity, which is more than three times higher than the European Union average. USAID works with Ukraine to strengthen the legal, regulatory and institutional frameworks that support clean energy alternatives. At the local level USAID helps reduce wasteful energy consumption in municipalities by addressing low end-use energy efficiency and insufficient utilization of renewable and alternative energy sources. In addition, USAID helps develop access to financing for sustainable clean energy solutions through public-private partnerships and private investment support programs.
