The current war russia started against ukraine is clearly fossil funded. Russia has been working tirelessly over the decates to build that energy grip. They continue doing that not just through the gas, but they also keep continuing it through the nuclear technologies and nuclear power stations. And i think that thisatt this period would be a huge push towards the new opportunities for ukrane as the player in the energy field"
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has caused horrific damage and casualties, in spite of Ukraine’s remarkable efforts to defend itself. The conflict has disrupted energy markets, grain shipments and is still destabilizing the global economy. All of this has shoved climate further down the list of international priorities, as has happened so many times before.
Yet within conflict zones, many brave individuals and organizations work every day to stave off the even greater threat of climate catastrophe. We talk with climate activists in Ukraine and the Middle East about the realities of operating environmental organizations in conflict zones, and how to balance immediate needs with working toward a better future.
