Gender, the Environment and Security in Ukraine



Ukraine’s National Action Plan (NAP) for Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) has evolved to address the realities of Russia’s full-scale invasion, with a new iteration expected in 2025. War and environmental crises intersect, compounding women’s insecurities, making it crucial to take a gender-transformative approach to recovery. Integrating women’s leadership and tackling climate challenges can ensure Ukraine’s reconstruction is just, inclusive, and sustainable. While ending the war remains the priority, shaping post-war recovery now is essential for a resilient and equitable future. This moment is an opportunity to build a Ukraine that is stronger for its people and the planet.
