KIEV, June 15 - The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the Ministry of Environmental Protection have presented the new program entitled "The National Environmental Policy of Ukraine: Assessment and Development Strategy."

"Despite numerous environmental laws, decrees and regulatory acts, Ukraine did not have until now a holistic national doctrine in the area of environment. This report proposes a policy framework and identifies key priorities of the state in the medium- and long-term perspectives," UN Resident Coordinator and UNDP Resident Representative in Ukraine Francis O'Donnell said during the report's presentation in Kiev on Thursday.
