Such an analysis is a good starting point for assessing the effects of CO2 taxes by considering the embodied energy along value chains. For more, check out our website: greendealukraina.org/gd-tracker/f...
Sectoral output can be used as intermediate inputs by other sectors, or consumed as final goods. There are often substantial gaps between a sector’s direct energy use and the energy embodied in its final consumption goods. We explore this phenomenon for Ukrainian industry in 2020:
Of course, a growing service sector is core of 'sustainable growth', but with our figure we still want to emphasise that such developments will likely be accompanied by increasing efficiency on the industrial side of things. Without these shifts Green Growth is tough!
For our next #FigureoftheWeek, GDU presents a comparison of energy-use by sector. Sectoral shifts and energy-efficiency improvements in Poland and Romania drastically reduced energy use in the industrial sector and the economy, providing a hint of what could lie ahead for Ukraine.
A more detailed explanation of the three pillars can be found on the EU Commission's website: ec.europa.eu/commission/p...
Today GDU published: "PROPOSALS for a GREEN RECOVERY in UKRAINE" that served as one background paper for the "Environmental Compact for Ukraine" which was presented by the Yermak-Walström group to President ZELENSKY last Friday greendealukraina.org/products/ana...
