Prior to leaving Russia in March 2022, she wrote for the daily Kommersant, edited the magazine “Environment and Law” and hosted a program at Echo Radio Station in Moscow.

Background
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, the ensuing international economic sanctions against the Russian Federation, as well as diminished (or halted) gas delivery to Europe will have both environmental and climate consequences.
Moscow’s elimination of numerous environmental regulations in the country’s industries will have immediate and long-lasting environmental and climate consequences. The decision of some EU countries to reintroduce coal is not climate-friendly either.
The environmental and climate impact stretches beyond Europe.
The conversation with Angelina Davydova will explore the impact of the war and changed Russian regulations on both environment and climate.
