1-3pm Natalie KopytkoClimate Inaction, Corruption and Putin's Invasion of UkraineRelated to my PhD research on climate change in Ukraine from 2010-2013, looking at synergies and trade-offs between adaptation and mitigation. Since not much research had been completed in Ukraine, I tried to use participatory processes and grounded theory. I knew that corruption was a problem, but I thought it would be too sensitive of a topic to discuss. To my surprise almost every interviewee spoke openly about corruption citing how it impacted efforts to address climate change. This corruption was largely due to the former president Yanukovych (now exiled to Russia after the Revolution of Dignity). I will make connections from my research to the current war in Ukraine and include a longer historical context related to the war. Quaker House - 2 hours if we can, 90 minutes at least for questionsn.kopytko@leeds.ac.uk
