Hennadii Nadolenko
Our diplomats and foreign service officers should be equipped with the full range of theoretical and practical knowledge of environmental and climate diplomacy, so that together we can tackle the consequences of climate change in the world and hold the perpetrators to account for the environmental damage they have caused.
Jenna Jadin
Climate change affects everything from the economy to food security. Our challenge is to work together to reduce the impact of climate change.
Mikhail Malkov
We already have a number of successful collaborations with DAU and are ready to apply the positive experience to other equally important areas of work, such as water, environment, food and climate.
