The article deals with the issue of sustainable management of Ukraine’s water resources in the context of climatic and environmental threats.
An analysis of normative legal acts that were adopted during the independence before the war of Ukraine on the issues of ensuring the rational use and protection of waters and the reproduction of water resources are carried out. It is concluded that the accumulation of numerous environmental problems in the use, protection, and reproduction of water resources led to the problems of pollution, depletion of water resources, and degradation of water ecosystems. The war in Ukraine has deepened existing problems, caused large-scale water resource pollution and degraded coastal and marine ecosystems, and demonstrated the importance of environmental security as an integral part of Ukraine’s national security.
The state's ecological policy of use and protection of water and reproduction of water resources is disclosed. Attention is drawn to the importance of the activities of the State Environmental Inspectorate of Ukraine for the analytical and standardized assessment of damage and damage caused as a result of the armed aggression of the russian federation.
It is concluded that overcoming the consequences of war and ensuring Ukraine's water security is possible only through a combination of environmental, economic, and social components is used in restoration and development. In this context, the critical role is the proper formation of the state environmental policy and the effectiveness of its practical implementation, updating approaches to public administration, establishing interagency cooperation, and actively involving scientific potential. Such an integrated approach will contribute to creating a sustainable and effective system of sustainable water management in Ukraine, capable of adequately responding to modern climatic and environmental threats.
