In the years that have passed since the Club of Rome published the report Limits to growth in 1972, the issue of sustainable development has steadily increased in importance on the agendas of both national, and International actors. As evidenced by the outcome of the World Summit on Sustainable Development that was held in Johannesburg in 2002, the need to incorporate sustainable development into the policies of national governments and International organisations is by now widely recognised [Hens and Nath, 2005]. However, this is not to say that the transition from the phase of policy-on- paper into that of policy-in-practice has necessarily been an easy one. On the contrary, many national and International actors have so far been either unwilling or unable (or both!) to take into consideration in the design and implementation of their policies the long-term social and environmental conseąuences that come with the pursuit of short-term economic growth. Judged by its current track record in the field of sustainability, Ukraine seems to be no exception to this rule [Vovk, 2003a], While this may not come as a surprise, it does give rise to a number of serious concerns. Given the fact that in April 1986 the country witnessed the worst nuclear accident the world had ever seen, one might expect the issue of sustainable development to be more pressing in Ukraine than anywhere else. What is more, in view of the high degree of involvement from International organisations with regard to the incorporation of sustainable development into Ukrainian national policies, one might expect the translation from words into deeds to have proceeded more smoothly.
