Abstract
The current ecological situation in Ukraine determines the need to overcome obstacles to decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. The aims of this research are to identify the main current challenges for mitigating the impact on climate conditions, measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and possible actions by the government and businesses to attain climate neutrality. Ukraine has many challenges related to CO2 emissions due to both the sectoral structure of the economy and the high energy intensity of outdated technologies. Air pollution is significantly increasing as a result of military aggression on Ukrainian territory. The decrease in CO2 emissions is partly explained by the reduction of economic activities during the pandemic restrictions. Despite the government's implementation of measures to create favorable conditions to reducing environmental pollution, it is necessary to develop measures to increase energy efficiency and stimulate the transition of business to a circular economy.
