Together with Reporters without Borders–Sweden and Svea Green Foundation, UWEC Work Group hosted the fourth in a series of webinars on the environmental and climate consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The latest webinar in the series “Environmental Consequences of Russia’s Invasion in Ukraine” took place on 9 September.
The purpose of the webinars is to discuss the most important environmental and climate issues related to the military invasion, highlight aspects of the full-scale war’s impacts on the environment, provide recommendations for verifying information about the environmental damage resulting from military combat, and highlight the tools necessary for good analysis.
Speakers this round were Marina Dubina, an expert from the Belarusian NGO Ecodom, and Vitaly Servetnik, a representative of the Environmental Crisis Group (which, among other things, monitors violations of rights and pressure on environmental activists in Russia), who spoke about the persecution of environmental activists in Belarus and Russia – up to and after the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine.
Presentation of experts are available in Russian and in English:
