Why Ensuring Ukrainian Victory in the War is Critical for Fighting Climate Change

05/17/22

“Why is ensuring Ukrainian victory in the war actually necessary in the fight against climate change?”

The ongoing war in Ukraine is throwing the entire world into a tailspin. Until recently, national borders were thought to have been stable in the big picture. However, Russia’s invasion threatens to upend all of this. If the previous paradigm falls, then more wars will ensue, leading to a ballooning of the global military-industrial complex and carbon emissions. But if Ukraine emerges victorious, then other nations will take note and be discouraged from conducting offensive wars. This will prevent the planet’s focus to shift away from solving the climate crisis. This is Why Ensuring Ukrainian Victory in the War is Critical for Fighting Climate Change.

As a proud descendent of Jews from Odesa, I urge you to please do what you can to help Ukrainians under invasion right now here.
