                                style="FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,times,baskerville,georgia,serif">Dear 
                                Friends!<BR><BR>In November, the Conference of 
                                the Parties to the United Nations Framework 
                                Convention on Climate Change, known as COP27, 
                                took place. This year it was overshadowed by 
                                Russia's military intervention in Ukraine. The 
                                sanctions that followed Russia’s invasion and 
                                the escalation of the most significant 
                                international confrontation since the Cold War 
                                have called the achievement of the main goal of 
                                climate policy – limiting the increase in 
                                surface temperature at 1.5-2˚ Celsius – into 
                                question. It has become unclear how countries 
                                will reach agreement in a situation where one of 
                                the main greenhouse gas emitters (Russia) is 
                                carrying out a military invasion of a 
                                neighboring state. Against the backdrop of this 
                                war, less attention and fewer resources are 
                                devoted to the climate issue, and the world’s 
                                energy sector and food markets are being 
                                restructured.<BR><BR>The topic of the war did 
                                not take center stage at the meeting in Sharm 
                                el-Sheikh. Countries did agree on the creation 
                                of a financial “Loss and Damage” compensation 
                                fund for the states most affected by climate 
                                change and that lack the financial ability to 
                                adapt to it. However, when it came to new 
                                targets for reducing emissions or gradually 
                                reducing fossil fuel use, the summit did not 
                                bring major breakthroughs.<BR><BR>One way or 
                                another, the war was a topic of conversation at 
                                COP27. It was certainly a theme at Ukraine’s 
                                pavilion, the presence of which was a first for 
                                the summit.<BR><BR>Special for UWEC Work Group, 
                                Tetiana Zhavzharova of Ukrainian Climate Network 
                                analyzed the main events held at Ukraine’s 
                                pavilion. It was the first time that volumes of 
                                additional greenhouse gas emissions caused by 
                                the military invasion were presented, amounting 
                                to 82.8 million tons of CO2. This figure is 
                                comparable to the total emissions of some 
                                individual nations and is a preliminary 
                                calculation. Additionally, these numbers stem 
                                from monitoring on only the Ukrainian side; 
                                Russia does not publish its 
                                data.<BR><BR>Ukraine’s recovery was also a topic 
                                of discussion at its pavilion. Such a plan must 
                                be based not only on “green” solutions, such as 
                                energy independence, sustainable economy, and 
                                renewable energy, but also on the principles of 
                                a just transition and gender 
equality.</SPAN></P>
