KIEV, Oct. 26 – The National Environmental Investment Agency of Ukraine (NEIA) has proposed that Ukraine take on commitments to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2020 compared to the level of 1990, the agency reported.

The agency believes that Ukraine should make the proposal at the 16th United Nations Climate Change Conference in Cancun, which is to be held in December.

At the conference, the representatives of 192 countries are to discuss a new agreement aimed at replacing the Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012.
