The Manual provides information on
the formation and international dissemination of the UNDROP, as well as
individual articles of the document with explanations and justifications; it
suggests ways to implement UNDROP through the introduction of development
strategies at various levels of cooperation between states, organisations,
civil society and peasant movements. This is an important step in strengthening
the rights of peasants and promoting sustainable rural development.
The Manual targets a diverse
audience, including rural populations, small-scale farmers, government
representatives, and academic circles. Beyond information dissemination, it
serves as a catalyst for the development and reinforcement of agrarian and
rural policies in Ukraine.

April 4, 2024, at SO "Institute for Economics and Forecasting of the
National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine",
a Round Table on "Problems of the markets of goods and services in Ukraine
under martial law" was held at the initiative of scientists of the
Institute’s Department of Sectoral Forecasts and Market Conjuncture.
The Director of SO "Institute for Economics and Forecasting of the
National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine", Academician of NAS of Ukraine Valeriy Heyets, Corresponding Member of
NAS of Ukraine, Deputy Director of the Institute Serhii Korablin and Dr. of Economics, Head of the Department of
Sectoral Forecasts and Market Conjuncture Vitaliy
Wenger made welcome speeches. During the presentations and discussion, the
participants have outlined various problems of the markets of goods and
services in Ukraine,
considered the changes that took place in the domestic and world markets after
the beginning of large-scale armed aggression, and discussed promising
directions for the further development of the markets. The Round Table was
attended by numerous Ukrainian and foreign scientists.
PhD in Engineering Oleksandr Diachuk at the presentation of the National Energy and Climate Plan of Ukraine
Head of Department of the Energy Sector Development and Forecasting, PhD in Economics Roman Podolets and Leading Research Officer of this Department, PhD in Engineering Oleksandr Dyachuk, scientists of the Institute for Economics and Forecasting of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, took part in the meeting "Energy and Climate Governance in Ukraine - Towards a Green Recovery" in Brussels (Belgium), on March 21, 2024, at which the project of the National Energy and Climate Plan of Ukraine (NPEC) was presented to the European Commission.
All key Ukrainian ministries and agencies, together with independent experts under the auspices of the DiXi Group analytical center and the Institute of Economics and Forecasting of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, with the support of the British Embassy in Ukraine and the American Net Zero World Initiative, participated in the development of this plan. The process was coordinated by the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine.
During the preparation of the NECP, experts from the Institute for Economics and Forecasting of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine were primarily responsible for modelling and forecasting of the Ukrainian energy development and greenhouse gas emission dynamics, comprehensive assessing of contribution of implementing a wide range of decarbonization measures, renewable energy development, energy efficiency improvement, etc. towards achieving Ukraine's international commitments under the Energy Community, European integration (in particular, the Association Agreement between Ukraine, of the one part, and the European Union, the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the other part) and the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. For this purpose, they use the TIMES-Ukraine model developed at the Institute, which is widely known at the national and international levels. It has been created to assess the dynamics of the energy system in the long-term perspective. The model is recognized worldwide, as evidenced by numerous scientific publications in the highest-rated professional journals. In recent years, the Institute for Economics and Forecasting of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine has been applying and developing this model in cooperation with US national laboratories, including the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL).
The Ukrainian team of NECP developers also met with representatives of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Energy. The main discussion focused on finalizing the draft NECP in accordance with the requirements of the European Union, as well as knowledge exchange, including on additional measures for decarbonizing Ukraine's economy. Furthermore, at the initiative of the Institute for Economics and Forecasting of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, some issues and preliminary modelling results for the NECP were discussed.
