Abstract

Purpose: to conduct a comprehensive study of the process of Ukraine's European integration into the European Union by amending national legislation in order to adopt and adapt the Green Deal policy and its provisions to Ukrainian realities, especially for the agricultural sector.

Research methods: general (analysis, synthesis, comparison, induction, deduction) and special research methods (system-functional, formal-logical, formal-legal) were used in combination.

Results: The article analyzes and studies the legal acts regulating the process of Ukraine's European integration and the fulfillment of its commitments in the field of ecology and EU support for achieving climate neutrality. Successful implementation of the Green Deal policy in Ukrainian legislation requires a comprehensive approach that considers legal aspects. Therefore, these aspects should be addressed in cooperation with international partners who are experienced in successful implementation of such reforms.

Discussion: In the context of the current challenges of the climate crisis and the need for transition to a sustainable economy, the Green Deal policy is becoming a key tool for ensuring environmental sustainability and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As it supports the basic principles of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, which were introduced to create a greener living environment. However, the implementation of this policy in laws of Ukraine faces numerous practical problems and requires improvement of legal base (laws) in many areas. Therefore, this includes the adoption of new laws and regulations, the creation of financial support mechanisms, regulation of emissions, and the promotion of innovation. Only with an appropriate legislative framework Ukraine will be able to effectively implement the principles of sustainable development and join the pan-European efforts to deal with Climate Change.
