Introduction Ukraine ratified the Protocol on Water and Health by the relevant Law of Ukraine in July 2003. In accordance with the Law on Ratification and on the Order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine the Plan of measures for the implementation of this Law was developed. In fulfilling its obligations under Article 6.2 of the Protocol, in 2011, due to the help of the Ukrainian-Norwegian Project of International Aid, Ukraine set 15 National Targets to the Protocol, which was approved by the Order of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine in September 2011. According to the conclusions of the Summary Report of Ukraine in 2016 about progress on implementation of the Protocol the National Targets set in 2011 have to be revised taking into account actual conditions and tasks in the Protocol areas. At the 4-th session of the Meeting of the Parties to the Protocol in Geneva in November 2016, the Ukrainian delegation asked for international assistance to review its National Targets and Action Plan to achieve them. In response to this request, the National Working plan for Ukraine to the Project “EU Water Initiative Plus” (“EU WI+”) funded by EU was agreed. It includes the relevant activities on baseline analysis preparation, revision of National Targets and development of Plan of measures to achieve the Targets. To implement these activities within the framework and as part of process of the National Policy Dialogue (NPD) on Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and water supply and sanitation a grant support has being provided. Since 2008, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) is a strategic partner of Ukraine to organize the NPD as a multi-sectoral platform to discuss water policy reforms and make important decisions during the Steering Committee meetings. The issues of the Protocol implementation were always on the agenda of the NPD on integrated water resources management (IWRM) in 2009-2011 and now they are included in the agenda of ongoing second wave of the National Dialogue on Water Policy, which has begun in March 2017. The project on revision of National Targets has being implemented in close cooperation of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and other authorities – members of the Interdepartmental Working Group (IWG) on coordination of implementation of the Protocol on Water and Health. Ukrainian National Environmental NGO (UNENGO) “MAMA-86” coordinated the experts’ work and the stakeholders’ involvement into the process of the National Targets revision through public consultations. Project implementation was leaded by regular IWG meetings and meetings of the Steering Committee of the NPD in Ukraine

ECE/CEP/133 UNITED NATIONS PUBLICATION Sales No. 07.II.E.6 ISBN 978-92-1-116958-4 ISSN 1020-4563 iii Foreword Environmental Performance Reviews (EPRs) for countries in transition were initiated by Environment Ministers at the second “Environment for Europe” Conference in Lucerne, Switzerland in 1993. As a result, the UNECE Committee on Environmental Policy decided to make the EPRs a part of its regular programme. Ten years later, at the fifth Ministerial Conference “Environment for Europe” (Kiev, 2003), the Ministers confirmed that the UNECE programme of EPRs had made it possible to assess the effectiveness of the efforts of countries with economies in transition to manage their environment. The Programme has addressed tailor-made recommendations to the Governments concerned on improving environmental management to reduce their pollution load, to better integrate environmental policies into sectoral policies and to strengthen cooperation with the international community. The Ministers also reaffirmed their support for the EPR programme as an important instrument for countries with economies in transition, and they decided that the programme should proceed with a second cycle of reviews.
  • UKRAINE the Constitution and Other Laws and Policies Protect Religious

    UKRAINE the Constitution and Other Laws and Policies Protect Religious

    UKRAINE The constitution and other laws and policies protect religious freedom and, in practice, the government generally enforced these protections. The government generally respected religious freedom in law and in practice. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom by the government during the reporting period. Local officials at times took sides in disputes between religious organizations, and property restitution problems remained; however, the government continued to facilitate the return of some communal properties. There were reports of societal abuses and discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice. These included cases of anti-Semitism and anti- Muslim discrimination as well as discrimination against different Christian denominations in different parts of the country and vandalism of religious property. Various religious organizations continued their work to draw the government's attention to their issues, resolve differences between various denominations, and discuss relevant legislation. The U.S. government discusses religious freedom with the government as part of its overall policy to promote human rights. U.S. embassy representatives raised these concerns with government officials and promoted ethnic and religious tolerance through public outreach events. Section I. Religious Demography The country has an area of 233,000 square miles and a population of 45.4 million. The government estimates that there are 33,000 religious organizations representing 55 denominations in the country. According to official government sources, Orthodox Christian organizations make up 52 percent of the country's religious groups. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church Moscow Patriarchate (abbreviated as UOC-MP) is the largest group, with significant presence in all regions of the country except for the Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, and Ternopil oblasts (regions).

Hubetova Odessa Regional Clinical Hospital, Odesa, Ukraine Odessa National Medical University, Odesa, Ukraine Epidemiology of Parkinson’s disease in the Southern Ukraine Abstract. Background. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a slowly progressing neurodegenerative disease with accumulation of alpha-synuclein and the formation of Lewy bodies inside nerve cells. The prevalence of PD ranges from 100 to 200 cases per 100,000 population. However, in the Ukrainian reality, many cases of the disease remain undiagnosed, which affects the statistical indicators of incidence and prevalence. The purpose of the study is to compare PD epidemiological indices in the Southern Ukraine with all-Ukrainian rates. Material and methods. Statistical data of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, public health departments of Odesa, Mykolaiv and Kherson regions for 2015–2017 were analyzed. There were used the methods of descriptive statistics and analysis of variance. Results. Average prevalence of PD in Ukraine is 67.5 per 100,000 population — it is close to the Eastern European rate. The highest prevalence was registered in Lviv (142.5 per 100,000), Vinnytsia (135.9 per 100,000), Cherkasy (108.6 per 100,000) and Kyiv (107.1 per 100,000) regions. The lowest rates were in Luhansk (37.9 per 100,000), Kyrovohrad (42.5 per 100,000), Chernivtsi (49.0 per 100,000) and Ternopil (49.6 per 100,000) regions. In the Southern Ukraine, the highest prevalence of PD was found in Mykolaiv region.

(2020): Green space trends in small towns of Kyiv region according to EOS Land Viewer – a case study. J. For. Sci., 66: 252–263. Abstract: The state of ecological balance of cities is determined by the analysis of the qualitative composition of green space. The lack of green space inventory in small towns in the Kyiv region has prompted the use of express analysis provided by the EOS Land Viewer platform, which allows obtaining an instantaneous distribution of the urban and suburban territories by a number of vegetative indices and in recent years – by scene classification. The purpose of the study is to determine the current state and dynamics of the ratio of vegetation and built-up cover of the territories of small towns in Kyiv region with establishing the rating of towns by eco-balance of territories. The distribution of the territory of small towns by the most common vegetation index NDVI, as well as by S AVI, which is more suitable for areas with vegetation coverage of less than 30%, has been monitored.
