Origin
2023 - First part-session
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 10.1.5, insert the following paragraph:

"supporting the establishment of standard methodologies for the collection of evidence for the environmental harm and calculation of environmental damage and related capacity building efforts;"

Explanatory note

Ukrainian authorities have detailed 7 methodologies to calculate environmental harm - to land, forests, air, water (both for marine and watercourses), illegal exploitation of resources, nature reserve funds. Setting international benchmarks and implementing them would supplement the Ukrainian effort to calculate and eventually compensate environmental damage caused by Russian aggression.
