Not amag delani is a palestinian whose whole life has been shaped by perennial conflict in the middle east. In 19 93, a pair of agreements known as the oslo accords were signed between israel and the palestine liberation organization. Following those accords, nada and her family returned to palestne when she was 11 years old. For the first time i feltsettled in. It was like a dream. And just then i felt that i'm home for the first time.
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.
