What are the environmental consequences of the war in Ukraine?
Check out our webinar to learn how NRDA applies to the war in Ukraine.
Rick Wenning, Ph.D, Montrose expert in environmental impact and ecological risk assessment, presented with Integral Consulting’s Ted Tomasi, Ph.D. in an insightful June 14th webinar on the natural resource damage impact of the war in Ukraine.
Webinar Overview
Since the onset of the war in February 2022, Ukraine’s land and water resources have been significantly affected by the conflict. In this webinar, we will explore a data-driven, science-based approach to estimating the restoration needed and its cost to compensate for the environmental impacts of war. We will focus on:
- Developing preliminary remote damage assessments, which can be refined through in-country inspections and analysis to better understand the scale of injuries and develop reparation proposals.
- Taking a phased approach to restoration, aimed at expediting the recovery of the resource base in an effective and targeted program proportional to the harm inflicted on natural resources.
