Implementation of environmental reforms on the way to the EU: civil society position

In light of the news regarding the launch of the negotiation process on Ukraine’s accession to the EU and approval by the European Commission of the “Ukraine 2023 Report”, representatives of Ukrainian civil society are convinced that further reforms should not only be
carried out, but also implemented fully in accordance with the recommendations of the European Commission and the principles of green recovery.
It is noteworthy that according to assessment of the compliance with the EU acquis previously published by the European Commission, Ukraine received “F” grade for environment and climate change, which is the lowest score among all sectors. The European Commission
assessed the implementation of not only those acts that are among the obligations of the Association Agreement, but also all EU acquis.
