Environmental Policy in Ukraine and the Impacts of War

Wednesday, March 22, 2023
8:30 am – 10:00 am EDT/GMT-4 
Online Event

8:30 AM New York l 1:30 PM Vienna

Volodymyr Demkine, an OSUN Threatened Scholars Integration Initiative Fellow, will discuss his research on the environmental effects of military actions in Ukraine.

Wide-scale military activities not only directly damage different components of the environment and result in a loss of ecosystem services but also entail long-term impacts on achieving environmental and development goals.

Demkine will provide a brief overview of the prewar goals of environmental policy in Ukraine, both nationally and internationally, as well as insights on how achievement of these goals has been challenged by war. He will also discuss data sources for analysis of the current situation and developing an outlook for the future, as well as estimates of environmental damages and losses incurred by the war. The presentation will conclude with ideas on likely actions in future and recommendations.  

Volodymyr Demkine is a retired UN program management officer with expertise in environmental policy development and implementation, as well as integrated environmental assessment. For 30 years he has worked in various aspects of climate change, including scientific assessment, mitigation and adaptation policies, as well as development of national and international policy instruments. His current research interest focuses on methodological aspects of upcoming post-war environmental assessment in Ukraine.
