The article analyzes the features of the implementation of the regional waste management strategy in the context of ensuring sustainable development of the Chernivtsi region. The study is based on official statistical data, strategic documents and reports on the environmental state of the region. It summarizes the dynamics of changes in the waste management system before and after the implementation of the regional program, identifies key achievements and problematic aspects.
In accordance with the principles of sustainable development, it is much more effective to prevent negative impacts at the planning stage or during the implementation of strategic decisions, rather than to overcome their consequences after implementation is complete. This approach contributes to the formation of a balanced and long-term effective waste management system focused on environmental safety, resource conservation, and the quality of life of the population (Rosohata et al., 2025). Systematic monitoring at all stages and levels of waste management is of particular importance, in particular on agricultural lands in the Chernivtsi region under conditions of intensive agricultural production. Thus, there is an accumulation of waste, pollution, and intensification of agricultural production, which serve as additional factors of environmental stress.
It was established that during the implementation of the first stage (2021-2023) of the development strategy of the Chernivtsi region for the period until 2027, a decrease in the total volume of secondary raw materials was noted. However, the main way of waste management in the region remains its disposal/disposal at landfills/landfills.
Particular attention is paid to the development of infrastructure for separate collection of secondary raw materials, the level of population involvement, and the effectiveness of management decisions in territorial communities. Based on a comprehensive analysis, an assessment of the current state of the waste management system in the Chernivtsi region was conducted. The results obtained emphasize the importance of integrating sustainable development approaches into the region's environmental policy and the need to further improve strategic planning to increase environmental safety and resource efficiency.
