Ukraine and the Middle East: Climate Action in Conflict Zones
Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine has caused horrific damage and casualties, in spite of Ukraine\u2019s 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.\xa0\nYet 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.\n\nGuests:\nRoman Zinchenko, Co-Founder, Greencubator\nNada Majdalani, Palestine Director, EcoPeace Middle East\n\nFor show notes and related links, visit ClimateOne.org\nLearn more about your ad choices.
