Among other things, participants discussed the impact of Russian aggression on the climate; why Ukraine is useful for the whole world, and why Russia poses a threat to the whole world when it destroys the natural environment of Ukraine. During the discussion, the opinion was expressed why it is important to talk about the factor of indigenous peoples using the example of the Crimean Peninsula; how the issue of ecocide in Ukraine relates to climate change globally; what are financial climate instruments and so on.
