Environment as a victim of war & armed conflicts, with Nikolai Denisov, Zoï Environment Network, consultant to the OSCE, the UN & other organizations

Sustainability Explored

Join us today for an unusual, yet exciting episode on a multidimensional topic: the intersection of environmental protection and conflict mitigation. Together with expert Nikolai Denisov, we explore the hidden impact of war and conflict on the environment to raise awareness about the importance of preventing issues at the roots, instead of mitigating the consequences “when the conflict is already burning”. Nikolai will further walk us through what it means to include social impact and relations when conducting environmental assessments, as well as how different actors of society can participate in preventing environmental degradation during the conflict. We'll particularly dive into the role of intergovernmental institutions and programs, such as the UNEP and OSCE. Tune in and let us know your thoughts!

What you'll learn:

• How wars and conflicts lead to environmental degradation;
  
• How to prevent environmental exploitation during times of conflict;
  
• Examples of different socio-political contexts and their influence on the relationship between conflict and environmental rights.
