Prioritisation by ABC in facing wartime pollution

ABSTRACT

Regional pollution across Ukraine is analysed by emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere, contaminated water, and waste generation. In the interests of post-war recovery, we propose integration of climate goals within all sectors of the economy and public life; minimising environmental hazards; arresting industrial pollution by introducing the polluter-pays principle; effective waste management; conservation of natural resources; restoration and development of protected areas, biodiversity conservation and increasing areas of natural ecosystems; and achievement of European standards of public administration in the field.
