The project “TARGETED RESEARCH FOR IMPROVING UNDERSTANDING OF THE GLOBAL NITROGEN CYCLE TOWARDS THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN INTERNATIONAL NITROGEN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (INMS)” — or “TOWARDS INMS”
A large-scale project implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) aims to develop an evidence base to demonstrate the need for more effective methods of global nitrogen management. The project involves over 70 partners from around the world, divided into seven demonstration regions. The NGO NEW Energy is one of two representatives from Ukraine participating in this project.

As part of the project, discussions were held on activities related to the research and monitoring of nitrogen pollution within the Eastern European demonstration region, including the following topics:
-
Activities of regional authorities and state monitoring systems;
-
The impact of nitrogen compounds on the quality of Ukraine’s freshwater: effects of biogenic pollution on drinking water supply, tourism development in the Dniester Delta, and more;
-
Consequences of megacities on the biogenic regime of coastal and marine ecosystems;
-
Harmonization of national legislation: implementation of EU directives related to nitrogen to address this issue in Ukraine;
-
Soil and air quality control due to the impact of biogenic pollution on ecosystems;
-
Research and analysis of success stories and best practices from Denmark and Romania aimed at reducing nitrogen pollution;
-
Review of existing approaches to the quantitative assessment of nitrogen (N) flows.
As a result, a number of proposals, decisions, and actions were adopted concerning global nitrogen management. The most relevant included:
-
The urgent need for continued coordination between Ukraine and Moldova in nitrogen management, drawing on Romania’s experience in this field;
-
Focusing future efforts on filling knowledge gaps regarding various forms of nitrogen, seasonal runoff, interregional impacts, and similar issues;
-
Standardization of approaches to data collection and assessment on global nitrogen management, and further research within the framework of Ukraine’s and Moldova’s national monitoring programs;
-
Supporting the establishment of the International Nitrogen Initiative (INI) Regional Centre for the Black Sea Region under the auspices of the Black Sea Commission (BSC) and the EU Horizon Europe 2030 Programme, to ensure strong coordination among Black Sea countries and engage policymakers and stakeholders in the INMS process;
-
Further involvement of the OSCE in fostering dialogue between policymakers, scientists, and civil society representatives in Ukraine;
-
Engaging civil society organizations to improve public awareness on nitrogen-related environmental issues.
