Ukraine

Due to the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine, the country has not been assessed in the CCPI since the 2023 edition.

According to recent reports, the war in Ukraine has induced emissions of more than 300 megatons of CO2-equivalents over the last four years – a figure considerably higher than the annual emissions of Spain.

Major drivers of these emissions have so far been the extensive use of fossil fuels in warfare equipment, military activities in the air, on land, and sea, and the formation of large-scale landscape fires. The ongoing attacks on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure also play a major role in war-related emissions. Ensuring a green recovery by renewing the energy infrastructure based on the principle of low-carbon, decentralized energy production will help the country strengthen its resilience while pursuing climate mitigation.
