Climate Change in Eastern Europe (Russian)
Prepared by Zoi in cooperation with GRID-Arendal and the Environ-
ment and Security initiative, this report explores the impacts of climate
change on Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine. The three countries of East-
ern Europe will not be affected as strongly as many other parts of Eura-
sia, yet they will see more of severe floods and forest fires, decreasing
water reserves in the south, and gradual changes in biodiversity, agri-
culture and food security. These countries have only started to address
these challenges. National policies remain week and the general public
is hardly aware of the problem. Meanwhile the industrialized Eastern
Europe contributes to the global emissions of greenhouse gases, thus
affecting more vulnerable parts of the world. The report was launched
at the 7th Ministerial conference “Environment for Europe” in Astana
in September 2011.

Living Planet: Connected Planet – Preventing the End of the World’s
Wildlife Migrations through Ecological Networks
A Rapid Response Assessment launched by the Convention on the
Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (UNEP/CMS) and
GA on 21 November 2011 at a side event during the 10th Conference
of Parties to the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species
held in Bergen, Norway. More than 100 governments came together to
discuss urgent action to address the rapid decline of migratory animal
across the globe. The report illustrates why ecological networks require
immediate international attention and where on earth intervention is
urgently needed for the frequent travellers of the animal world.
