Ukrainian context:
Ukraine, with structural changes in its energy sector, along with the consequences of Russia's armed aggression and the destruction of its infrastructure, is facing the challenge of ensuring a sustainable and reliable energy supply. Investments in renewable energy and electricity grids are becoming a key element of economic recovery and the fight against climate change. In cooperation with international partners, Ukraine plans to create the basis for sustainable economic growth, decarbonization and complete elimination of fossil fuels from the energy mix.
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, the world needs to invest at least $5.7 trillion in renewable energy sources every year until 2030 to avoid catastrophic climate change and achieve zero carbon emissions by 2050.

New climate and energy policy of Ukraine to support green reconstruction. The Decarbonization Fund and other financial instruments to support the green recovery of the Ukrainian economy and build sustainable infrastructure.
Anna Zamazeyeva, Head of the State Agency on Energy Efficiency
