Ukraine faces severe environmental degradation, impacting public health and population growth. Addressing these issues requires a shift in policy and economic development, potentially aided by Western support.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Public Health
  • Socio-economics

Background:

  • Ukraine, independent since 1991, grapples with significant environmental degradation.
  • Environmental issues are linked to declining human health and negative population growth trends.
  • These problems are exacerbated by the socio-economic transition to a free market economy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of Ukraine's environmental situation.
  • To examine the social and managerial implications of environmental management.
  • To assess the links between environmental issues, human health, and socio-economic factors.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and situational analysis.
  • Examination of social and managerial aspects of environmental policy.

  • Assessment of health and demographic impacts.

    • Main Results:

    • The most critical environmental problems are concentrated in urban areas, coastal regions (Black and Azov Seas), the Dnipro river basin, and the Polissya region.
    • Environmental degradation negatively affects human health and population dynamics.
    • Current legal and technocratic approaches are insufficient without a change in mindset and economic development.

    Conclusions:

    • A fundamental shift in the mindset of policymakers and the public is essential.
    • Legal and technocratic solutions must be complemented by economic development.
    • Western assistance can play a crucial role in facilitating economic development and environmental improvement in Ukraine.
