The signs of climate change in Ukraine are already becoming increasingly obvious to the naked eye.

   Winter in Ukraine is not what it used to be. The December-January 2020 period produced remarkably mild weather and virtually no snowfall at all. 

   Other features that are becoming more frequent in today’s Ukraine include extreme weather events, heatwaves, and the mounting issue of water scarcity. This has the potential to disrupt lives and cause significant damage to the Ukrainian economy. 

   A severe windstorm in July 2019 damaged power lines in Ukraine and left around 600 towns and settlements temporarily without  electricity.

   Our partner country India in this project faces to the similar climate effects.  In India there is vexing air pollution, which shoots up in the fall and winter. The rapid economic growth of the past two decades — and along with it, increased urbanization and congestion — has left Indian cities horribly polluted.

   It was very useful for students from two countries to explore Climate causes and effects in a virtual interaction.
