The lecture is dedicated to the protection of the environment during international armed conflict under international humanitarian law. We will consider the obligations of Ukraine and the Russian Federation to protect the environment during international armed conflict. We will focus on Ukraine's measures for monitoring and mechanisms for compensation of environmental damage caused by the Russian aggression. We will review the criminal liability of an individual for crimes against the environment committed in connection with an armed conflict under the Criminal Code of Ukraine, including war crimes and ecocide. We will also discuss the circumstances and legal qualification of the events related to the explosion of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station.

As the war has brought a huge toll to Ukraine’s environment, the project fosters civic engagement in environmental citizen science in light of its legal dimension. By analysing barriers and opportunities for community engagement in environmental action and peacebuilding, GROMADA emphasises the legal aspects of environmental harm monitoring in war, empowering conflict-affected communities.
