Russian attacks on Ukraine's food storage and distribution infrastructure disrupting grain supply chains, affecting global agricultural markets and food security
Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil infrastructure causing environmental damage (oil spills in Tuapse and shadow fleet tanker strikes), directly linking military conflict to pollution
Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure causing environmental damage (oil spills) that accumulates pollution and demonstrates war's direct climate/environmental cost
Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure (oil refineries, thermal power plants) disrupt energy supply chains, forcing EU to accelerate renewable energy deployment and creating energy security pressures that intersect with climate transition timelines
Ukrainian drone strikes destroying Russian oil refinery (Kstovo LUKOIL) causing major environmental damage and emissions spike from uncontrolled fires
Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure forcing reliance on emergency power outages, disrupting renewable energy transition efforts and increasing dependency on alternative fuel sources
Ongoing Ukraine war disrupting global grain and food exports, contributing to world food price inflation affecting food security and agricultural decisions
Ukraine war driving infrastructure hardening underground; German investment in Chornobyl nuclear repair diverts climate adaptation funds from renewable energy infrastructure
POLYCRISIS.WORLD has documented 2 ways Climate Change has affected the War in Ukraine in the past 12 months. The dominant transmission channels are energy (1), military (1); 1 of these links were rated strong.
European drought forcing nuclear reactor shutdowns, increasing reliance on Ukrainian electricity exports and straining regional energy security during wartime
Extreme heat in Europe reduces firefighting capacity and emergency response resources that could be redirected to Ukraine conflict zones; heat stress impacts military operations
