Project Description

The EBRD has been supporting the Government of Ukraine in updating its revised National Determined Contribution (“NDC”), which, adopted in July 2021, has committed the country to an overall economy-wide GHGe reduction target of 65% by 2030. In order to catalyse and maintain political momentum for NDC implementation, the Bank, the German International Climate Initiative (“IKI”) and the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine (“Ministry” or “MEPR”) have agreed to cooperate on a TC programme (“the Programme”) that aims to accelerate Ukraine’s NDC implementation while promoting the uptake of investments in sustainable bioenergy, agri and land-use practices.

The objective of this technical cooperation assignment is to provide carbon asset development services that will result in the registration of a carbon project for Ukrainian agriculture (the “Project”) under Verra VCS standard following latest VM0042 methodology in order for the Project to monetise its emission reductions in the form of carbon credits

The objectives are to:

Lead in developing and registering (including validation by an accredited, independent, third party) the Project under Verra VCS standard using VM0042 methodology;
Closely liaise and interact with the key project stakeholders EBRD, the company developing the First Project Activity Instance, Verra, etc. throughout the implementation of the assignment, to ensure the requirements are being met for getting the necessary approvals;
Support the monitoring, verification of the Project and the First Project Activity Instance, leading to first issuance of carbon credits in order for the Project to monetise its emission reductions;
Support EBRD if required on the development of methodology for this type of project under article 6 of the Paris agreement on climate change.

Access to Information Policy (AIP)

The AIP sets out how the EBRD discloses information and consults with its stakeholders so as to promote better awareness and understanding of its strategies, policies and operations following its entry into force on 1 January 2020. Please visit the Access to Information Policy page to find out what information is available from the EBRD website.

Specific requests for information can be made using the EBRD Enquiries form

Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM)

If efforts to address environmental, social or public disclosure concerns with the Client or the Bank are unsuccessful (e.g. through the Client’s Project-level grievance mechanism or through direct engagement with Bank management), individuals and organisations may seek to address their concerns through the EBRD’s Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM).

IPAM independently reviews Project issues that are believed to have caused (or to be likely to cause) harm. The purpose of the Mechanism is: to support dialogue between Project stakeholders to resolve environmental, social and public disclosure issues; to determine whether the Bank has complied with its Environmental and Social Policy or Project-specific provisions of its Access to Information Policy; and where applicable, to address any existing non-compliance with these policies, while preventing future non-compliance by the Bank.

Please visit the Independent Project Accountability Mechanism webpage to find out more about IPAM and its mandate; how to submit a Request for review; or contact IPAM via email ipam@ebrd.com to get guidance and more information on IPAM and how to submit a request.
