Ukraine was allowed to resume participation in international emissions trading under the Kyoto Protocol following its suspension in October, the National Environmental Investment Agency said.
"This means that Ukraine has resumed participation in international trade in greenhouse gas emission reduction units and will be able to use the mechanisms of Joint Implementation in full," the Kiev-based agency said.
Ukraine has sold more than 100 million tons of Assigned Amount Units, or AAUs, since 2009, the most of any developed country. Ukraine was suspended from emissions trading in October after the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change uncovered flaws in the country's official estimates of its emissions before 2008.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
