Abstract
On July 31, 2008, a Ukrainian court ordered the Ministry of Environmental Protection to take certain actions aimed at national greenhouse gas reductions. The Ukrainian public interest organization Environment-People-Law (EPL) sought to compel the Ministry to develop a climate change policy for Ukraine; work towards fulfilling its climate change obligations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNPCCC), the Kyoto Protocol and the National Plan; and raise public awareness on climate change issues.
