Background

In Ukraine, the initial steps to apply the Green Growth Indicators (GGIs) framework was done in 2012-2014. The pilot independent monitoring report for Ukraine was produced, covering available data as of December 2013.

Today, the readiness of the Ukrainian Government to contribute to the EU Green Deal initiative launched in 2019 creates a unique opportunity to build on these efforts to improve the framework for monitoring progress towards green growth.

The OECD Green Growth Indicators enable the monitoring of progress towards four objectives: i) establishing a low-carbon, resource-efficient economy; ii) maintaining the natural asset base; iii) improving people’s quality of life; and iv) implementing appropriate policy to realize the economic opportunities of green growth. This framework has already been applied by many OECD countries and beyond.
