Abstract
Ukraine has made impressive progress
on key reforms and restored macro-financial stability, but
weak growth and poverty remain a concern. Despite these
economic challenges, Ukraine recognizes climate change as
the most consequential factor this century, affecting the
economy and future generations. This study is the first
detailed assessment of the potential impacts of climate
change on Ukraine, with a focus on agriculture, a key driver
of the economy and jobs. The analysis provides an insight
into the spatial dimension of climate change, how these
changes would be experienced in different oblasts in the
country. This report is supported by four background
technical reports on climate projections, impact on
agriculture, impact on forests and distributional analysis.
In addition, climate datasets of over two terabytes
generated for this assessment are housed at the Ukrainian
Hydrometeorological Institute, Kyiv. The results of this
study are expected to inform Ukraine’s national adaptation
strategy, which is now being finalized. This study also
paves the way for the development of sub-national and
sectoral adaptation strategies with the spatially
disaggregated information that has been generated for all oblasts.
