Overlapping crises are becoming the operating environment for the next decade. War, climate stress, environmental damage, and economic instability increasingly unfold simultaneously – yet philanthropies’ work is still largely structured to address them one at a time. What patterns are emerging across war- and climate-affected contexts? What does the era of simultaneous crises mean for philanthropic practice in the decade ahead? Join the event by Foundations for Ukraine to find out more.

Café Kyiv is an annual, multi-day event series in Berlin, initiated by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation and co-organsed by numerous partners, including BUBB platform members. It is designed to foster solidarity with Ukraine, showcase Ukrainian culture, and debate its European future, security, and reconstruction. The event brings together politicians, experts, and civil society to create a bridge between Germany and Ukraine.

This event will be a multidisciplinary discussion on the role of citizen-generated data and citizen science in environmental monitoring within conflict zones, with a particular focus on Ukraine after and during the Russian full-scale invasion. It will bring together perspectives from academic institutions, civil society organisations, policymakers, and Ukrainian students to explore the legal and social dimensions of participatory research in this context.

The European Commission has published its new EU Water Resilience Strategy. How will Ukrainian agricultural and environmental structures, now united under one ministry, jointly care for water resources? Do Ukraine’s strategic documents, plans, and the daily practices of Ukrainian farmers align with new European standards? Join the event by Green Dossier to find out.

Sustainable reconstruction of Ukraine is impossible without compliance with environmental standards. However, during the war, two important procedures - environmental impact assessment (EIA) and strategic environmental assessment (SEA) - were significantly curtailed. This poses risks to the environment, human health, and ultimately to investor confidence. Join the event that will feature presenation of a new analytical paper with recommendations from Ecoclub and WWF-Ukraine on how to improve EIA and SEA procedures in Ukraine.

What should Ukraine's green reconstruction be like? What difficulties does Ukraine face in this process? What should be the primary focus of policy and practical actions to ensure that reconstruction is based on green principles? How are civil society and government authorities preparing for the Ukraine Recovery Conference which will take place in Rome in July 2025? Join the event to hear from different stakeholders and experts of the Resource and Analytical Centre “Society and Environment” who will present their new analytical report “Green Reconstruction of Ukraine: Processes, Forms and Visions of Key Stakeholders”.

The Russian aggression in Ukraine severely affects the environment, as well as leads to the formation of war waste. How much of this waste is there, and what to do with it? These questions will guide the discussion during the partner event taking place within the EU Green Week 2025. During the event by the Ministry of Environment of Ukraine, EEB and Society and Environment speakers will discuss the importance of addressing the problem of war waste formation at the political, scientific, infrastructure and financial levels, and demonstrate the role of EU circularity policies to address the challenges in Ukraine related to the war.

The EU-Ukraine bilateral meeting on screening under the Chapter 27 “Environment and climate change” will take place in two weeks (June 16-20). Join the event organised by the Resource and Analysis Center "Society and Environment" within the EU Green Week in Brussels to hear about main benefits for the EU from Ukraine’s EU membership, Ukraine’s main achievements and gaps and environmental policies, and more.

In the Eastern Partnership (EaP) region, achieving environmental and climate resilience remains a challenge, further exacerbated by Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, whose consequences are impacting the whole region. The war caused enormous damage to the nature, polluted the air, water and soil, and led to increased greenhouse gas emissions. The war also influenced many aspects of ongoing reforms in the EaP countries, caused a slow down in the energy transition, and a further decline of environmental and climate priorities. The event by the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum will focus on the main environment and security challenges in the EaP countries and highlights the extent to which energy and climate change challenges impact environmental security in the region. 

The Ukraine Nature Network is an initiative of HAW Hamburg that aims to document and disseminate information about environmental projects in Ukraine, promoting collaboration between NGOs, academic institutions and the private sector to mitigate the impacts of war on the environment. To strengthen this network and broaden the dialogue on conservation and sustainable reconstruction, you are invited to join the special event bringing together experts and organizations committed to environmental protection in times of crisis.

The Stakeholder’s Forum brings together key stakeholders representing government institutions, international organizations, financial institutions, civil society, academia, and the private sector, to assess progress made, coordinate ongoing initiatives, and identify concrete priority actions for the coming year. During the event, join the panel on Nature and Biodiversity led by WWF Ukraine.

Introducing the EU nature protection requirements into Ukrainian legislation and practice is among the priority tasks in the field of environment and climate change in the context of European integration and Ukraine's future membership in the EU. What instruments for implementing the Regulation in Ukraine will be the most effective? How can Ukrainian legislation and practices be effectively brought closer to the EU acquis in the field of nature restoration? Join the event by Resource and Analysis Center "Society and Environment" to find out.

Join for the Ukraine Nature Network Forum, where experts, researchers, and practitioners will discuss the environmental impacts of war and strategies for recovery. This event will highlight key initiatives and foster collaboration to support nature conservation in Ukraine. The forum is organised by the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences.

Organised by the Oxford Ukraine Hub, this seminar brings together four distinguished speakers from diverse backgrounds, including art history, cultural geography, environmental science, and environmental law, to reflect on the most pressing issues and intriguing questions related to the environment and ecology in Ukraine.

Join the upcoming webinar to hear from Conflict and Environment Observatory and the Norwegian People’s Aid experts presenting the findings from their latest report. The report explores environmental consequences from explosive weapons and military activities on soil and water resources, sheds light on infrastructure damage and potential threats to agriculture.

Russia’s war against Ukraine caused large-scale environmental damage that resulted in unprecedented pollution, disruption of ecosystems and physical destruction of biological species both on the territory of Ukraine and on the scale of the entire region and the world. Destruction of the environment is prohibited in the international law. Join the event on the environmental impacts of Russia's invasion, including speakers from PAX and UN Environment Programme.

Join the presentation of the integrated vision of the Dnipro River in a lecture format by Ro3kvit’s co-founder Fulco Treffers.

This vision can be seen as a combination of research, scenarios, and ideas offered to an international audience: planners, policy makers, experts in various fields, and the general public.

This event, organised by the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and the Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group, will focus on the environmental consequences of the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam and Reservoir in southern Ukraine. The Ukrainian specialists participating in the session have first-hand information of the consequences of this tragedy. Among the presenters are representatives from Ukrainian civil society and the public authorities with important perspectives about the reservoir.
