Description:
The objective of this one-year project, which EPA will begin in late 2000, is to develop a climate change strategy for the Lviv region. Activities will include:
(1) assessment of Lviv's sources of greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants;
(2) assistance to Lviv policy-makers in developing specific policy recommendations for reducing GHGs and other pollutants in the various economic sectors (e.g., energy, industry, agriculture, etc.);
(3) identification of several candidate UNFCCC projects and development of formal project memoranda describing the projects' potential for emissions reductions, and expected costs; and
(4) workshops and seminars for local policymakers and the public on the science and potential impacts of climate change, the UNFCCC process (including the importance of GHG inventories), and the potential economic, environmental, and health-related benefits of reducing emissions and participating in flexibility mechanisms.
