1/ At the end of September, the @UNESCO World Heritage Committee conducted its annual Session. One topic discussed was the issue of militarization in #BorderAreas. Read more about the Session in an original article by our expert @eugenesimonov2 👉: uwecworkgroup.info/unesco-condemn…
2/ In the context of military conflicts, international institutions are becoming increasingly weaker, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to implement international programs. Unfortunately, this affects the protection of nature and the environment.
3/ The politicization of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee Session clearly underscored the steadily shrinking space for negotiations.
4/ However, even in those conditions, relevant issues can still be raised today. For example, the problem of the militarization of borderlands. In the future, this may become one of the most serious environmental problems of our time.
5/ Today, a hybrid war over human migration has resulted in the division of the largest tract of #AncientForests in Europe across the Polish-Belarusian boundary barrier. This barrier threatens the unique #BiałowieżaForest ecosystem.
