War and the Environment: Ecological, Ethical, and Anthropological Dimensions

Skovoroda Institute of Philosophy, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, organised the round table “War and the Environment: Ecological, Ethical and Anthropological Dimensions”, exploring the environmental impacts of the war from interdisciplinary perspectives. The discussion covered direct and indirect environmental damage, including the destruction of ecosystems and habitats, depletion of natural resources, and climate change, as well as anthropological transformations caused by war. It also included ethical, philosophical, and artistic reflections on these issues, the moral and ecological dimensions of war, and rethinking ecocide as an existential catastrophe. However, the environment is not only a 'silent victim' of war but also a witness to tragic events that leave a unique imprint on the landscape of our memory.
