The Green Party of Ukraine is calling for limitation of greenhouse gases emission into the atmosphere

On the 7 of December the World conference on climate change started in Copenhagen. Representatives of 192 states will take part in the conference and decide whether the outcome of their work becomes the Kyoto protocol continuation, which expires in 2012.

It's known, that the official position of Ukraine in Copenhagen — is till 2020 not to get over 80% of CO2 emissions compared to 1990. With it, the industrial emissions in Ukraine nowadays are almost two times less, which is the result of the production decrease and economy changes.

 «In the time, when all states in the world are trying to decrease greenhouse gases all together, Ukraine has an aim of being the first one increasing the rate of Carbone emissions. It's a questionable leadership», — the Head of the Green Party of Ukraine pointed out.

According to her, there's no real background for dramatic increase of the industry production in Ukraine, as well as in some other shifting economies. However there's the great interest in using quotes of polluting by developed countries.

«The Green Party of Ukraine believes, that the procedure of “green investments” granting has the right to exist, since the money, received for the quote selling has to be spent on energy-saving technologies and usage of renewable energy sources. Moreover the right to use this money has to belong not only to state agencies, but also to the private companies. The procedure of using the “green” investments has to be precisely written in the new international agreement of the members of Kyoto protocol. With it the strict control over the usage of granted money has to be implied, in order to control spending money on the exact ecological aims. Unfortunately we don't have it nowadays in Ukraine», — the head of the party declared.

«We're concerned, that the climate change problem is one of the most important nowadays. That is why the representatives of the Green Party of Ukraine are taking part in the climate change conference in Copenhagen. Volodymyr Kosterin, the honored head of the party, represents it. We insist on the importance of decreasing greenhouse gases, signing of the necessary documents by Ukraine and following their main demands”, — pointed out the Head of the Green Party of Ukraine Tatyana Kondratyuk.
