The Scientific and Expert Council is a permanent independent advisory body created for the following purposes:

The establishment of the Scientific and Expert Council on Climate Change and Ozone Layer Protection is part of the implementation of international approaches to the formation and delivery of climate policy,” said Pavlo Kartashov, Deputy Minister of Economy, Environment and Agriculture.
