Two years have now passed since Russia invaded Ukraine. Tens of thousands have been killed and the fighting has caused immense damage to the environment. A groundbreaking new report has catalogued the environmental damage and outlined the essential steps needed for a green recovery.
In this episode, IHRB’s CEO John Morrison sits down with Margot Wallström, who is co-chair of the group behind the report: the High-level Working Group on the Environmental Consequences of the War. Margot is also chair of IHRB's International Advisory Council, a former minister for foreign affairs in the Swedish government, and former Vice President of the European Commission.
They discuss whether it's possible to rebuild Ukraine in a greener, fairer way and ask can this be done while the country is still immersed in war?
