Ukraine’s emission reduction target
Ukraine communicated a target of a 20 per cent emission reduction by 2020 compared with 1990 levels and associated itself with the Copenhagen Accord under the following conditions:
(a) That developed countries have an agreed position on the quantified emission reduction targets of Annex I Parties;
(b) That Ukraine maintains its status as a country with an economy in transition and the relevant preferences arising from such status;
(c) That the existing flexibility mechanisms under the Kyoto Protocol are kept;
(d) That 1990 is kept as the single base year for calculating Parties’ commitments;
(e) That the provisions of Article 3, paragraph 13, of the Kyoto Protocol are used for the calculation of the quantified emission reductions of the Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol for the relevant commitment period.
