Abstract. The aim of this paper is to research Ukraine’s path to decarbonization and the European Union’s Green Deal “green” acquis, to make a successful accession to the European Union. Research methods applied in this paper are two-fold. First layer consists of review and analyse of the respective Ukrainian and EU’s legal acts and official documents with desk study on relevant literature and official institutions’ documents. Comparative studies are in use to analyse the issue with quantitative method based on secondary statistical data and qualitative method when analysing legal provisions. Second layer consists of descriptive statistical methods including positional and classical measures of population characteristics, as well as methods for determining linear trends and forecasting time series. To assess the accuracy of the forecasts, ex post error measures were used, which are of fundamental importance for evaluating forecast quality. The forecasts were generated for the maximum permissible time horizon, up to the year 2030, a deadline date due to Kyoto Protocol and Paris Agreement and 2035, a date of development Ukraine’s fuel and energy due to 2017 Strategy. The outbreak of a military conflict hampered, but not squander the successful pace started in 1990-2022 to reduce GHG emissions in these dates. |
