WHAT IS BEING DONE IN UKRAINE?

Ukraine signed the UNFCCC in 1992. The Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) of Ukraine ratified the Convention on October 29, 1996 and Ukraine became a Party to the UNFCCC on August 11, 1997. Ukraine is a member of Annex I of the Convention, which includes developed countries and countries with economies in transition.

On March 15, 1999 Ukraine signed the Kyoto Protocol to the UNFCCC (agreed upon at COP3 in December 1997). The Protocol is not a part of acting legislation of Ukraine, as it still has not been ratified by the Parliament of Ukraine.
