dc.descriptionThis report examines Ukraine’s use of economic instruments for environmental policy under the European Union Eastern Partnership Green initiative with Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, United Nations Environment Programme, United Nations Industrial Development Organisation and United Nations Economic Commission for Europe partners. It reviews excise taxation of motor fuels and vehicles and evaluates extended producer responsibility systems for packaging, waste oils, tyres, end-of-life vehicles and batteries, identifying weak performance. It proposes aligning fuel and vehicle taxes with carbon content, sulphur levels, biofuel shares and carbon dioxide emissions, and strengthening legal frameworks, institutional roles, financing, targets, monitoring and enforcement.en
