On May 9, 2024, as part of the CitiObs and MoRe4nature projects, the National Ecological Center of Ukraine (NECU) participated in an online seminar titled “How to Document Environmental Damage Caused by Military Actions,” organized by the human rights organization Environment People Law (EPL).
Two NECU representatives spoke at the seminar:
- Dmytro Ivanov with the presentation “Pilot Assessment of the War’s Impact on the Environment in the Affected Communities of Mykolaiv and Sumy.”
- Vitaliy Hulevets with the presentation “Digital Technologies in Environmental Data Collection and Analysis.”
The first session of the seminar was dedicated to the regulatory framework for documenting environmental damage caused by the war. The second session focused on the use of modern technologies for collecting and analyzing environmental information, as well as engaging communities in data collection and analysis.
NECU expresses gratitude to the event organizers, all speakers, and moderators for an interesting event and fruitful discussions.
