About

This workshop aims to gain a better understanding of the scope of the environmental damage resulting from Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Participants will examine and assess environmental damages in different areas and the impact on water, energy, public health, land, and biodiversity. The workshop will also discuss the challenges posed by demining and risks to nuclear and other energy facilities, highlighting ideas for coordinating mechanisms among governments and organizations providing assistance. A key goal will be to highlight existing efforts to monitor and address these impacts, as well as identify opportunities for science and technology to address them. A secondary goal is to connect relevant communities within government, research, the private sector, and non-profit organizations across the U.S. and Ukraine to coordinate these efforts and effectively address the needs in Ukraine.

Day 3 will examine the environmental impacts posted by risks of damgage to nuclear and other energy facilities, discuss how to quantify the cost of environmental remediation in Ukraine, and highlight next steps for improving coordination among government and other parties to address environmental damage and remediation.
