Following the signing of the Association Agreement between Ukraine as one Party, and European Union, European Atomic Energy Community, and their member states, as the other Party (hereafter - EU Association Agreement) enhancement of competitiveness has been the main challenge for Ukraine s economic development. Main directions to resolve this problem include establishment of more favorable investment climate, stimulation of innovations, mod- ernization of ﬁxed production assets, and creation of high technology jobs, raising the labor and production efﬁciency, and implementation of structural and institutional reforms.', 'Main directions to resolve this problem include establishment of more favorable investment climate, stimulation of innovations, mod- ernization of ﬁxed production assets, and creation of high technology jobs, raising the labor and production efﬁciency, and implementation of structural and institutional reforms.

Added to this is the fact that negative trends that are observed in production sphere and include aging of ﬁxed assets, technological equipment, and loss of the most skilled staff etc, make it more difﬁcult for Ukraine s economy to get out of systemic crises. Therefore, resolute transition to innovation development model is the only solution to the crisis.', 'Therefore, resolute transition to innovation development model is the only solution to the crisis. Ukraine needs high pace of GDP growth to overcome poverty and impoverishment of citizens, yet, it should be underscored, that a new development model should be – «green» restoration, «green» growth, «green» development, which is based on the inﬂow of investments into renewable sources of energy, environmentally safe production, and «green» technologies. 1.2.

Climate change combatting advantages According to IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, research on detection and establishment of the causes behind climate change have demonstrated that anthropogenic inﬂuence on global climate system is the main reason of its undeniable warming, which has been observed since 1950.', 'Climate change combatting advantages According to IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, research on detection and establishment of the causes behind climate change have demonstrated that anthropogenic inﬂuence on global climate system is the main reason of its undeniable warming, which has been observed since 1950. Human inﬂuence has also resulted in substantial increase of regional temperatures at the continent and subcontinent levels. It is expected that the change in temperature distribution towards warmer regimes will also result in higher repeatability and intensity of extremely high temperature periods. It is highly likely that from 2000 to 2100 increase in average global temperature of the air will amount from two до 5 °C, and raising of sea level - from 0.6 to 1.2 meters with a possibility for signiﬁcantly higher growth.', 'It is highly likely that from 2000 to 2100 increase in average global temperature of the air will amount from two до 5 °C, and raising of sea level - from 0.6 to 1.2 meters with a possibility for signiﬁcantly higher growth. Climate change can make long-term economic growth impossible and will increase the risks for human livelihood security at global level. As its consequences, the climate change will include more frequent waves of heat, drought and other extreme weather phenomena, change in precipitation regime and exhaustion of ecosystems, which will substan- tially increase the risks to health and wellbeing of people and environment.', 'As its consequences, the climate change will include more frequent waves of heat, drought and other extreme weather phenomena, change in precipitation regime and exhaustion of ecosystems, which will substan- tially increase the risks to health and wellbeing of people and environment. Paris Agreement, in enhancing the implementation of the UNFCCC, aims to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change, in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty, including by: «Holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre- industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre- industrial levels, recognizing that this would signiﬁcantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change; Increasing the ability to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change and foster climate resilience and low greenhouse gas emissions development, in a manner that does not threaten food production; and; Making ﬁnance ﬂows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development».', 'Paris Agreement, in enhancing the implementation of the UNFCCC, aims to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change, in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty, including by: «Holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre- industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre- industrial levels, recognizing that this would signiﬁcantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change; Increasing the ability to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change and foster climate resilience and low greenhouse gas emissions development, in a manner that does not threaten food production; and; Making ﬁnance ﬂows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development».

Ukraine s economic, energy and climate performance over 1990-2015.General trend of GHG emissions may be broken down into the following periods: Sharp drop in GHG emissions over 1990-1999, which is attributed to collapse of the Soviet Union and adjustment of Ukraine s economy to new environment. In addition to that, a signiﬁcant decline in GDP was also taking place; Stabilization and restoration of economic growth over 1999-2008.', 'In addition to that, a signiﬁcant decline in GDP was also taking place; Stabilization and restoration of economic growth over 1999-2008.

Boosted investment processes is the main factor that triggers quality changes, which in turn, result in the raised efﬁciency in production owing to lower speciﬁc consumption of energy resources. Increased efﬁciency in technology and production processes contribute to additional cumula- tive growth in the goods and services output (6%) and GDP (13%) by 2050.

It is expected that by 2035 additional increase in household consumption can amount to 8%, and will reach 13% by 2050.At the industry level, the start of low carbon development policies and measures implementa- tion will bring about moderate structural shifts, which will be manifested in the increased share of services, and, construction - as the main suppliers of investment products - and also in the shares of some processing industries, notably, chemical and metal industry (Figure 4.6.)

Changes in the goods and services output by the industry (percentage baseline scenario) Overall, de-carbonization of Ukraine s energy sector will result in positive social and economic outcomes. Speciﬁcally, it is expected that GDP and real income of household will show additional growth. Under increase in total goods and services output, the share of economic activities with high gross value added will be growing at the industry level. Reduced scope of fossil fuels con- sumption will contribute to increased level of national energy security and lowered import dependency.', 'Reduced scope of fossil fuels con- sumption will contribute to increased level of national energy security and lowered import dependency.
