2/2 Join us for a conversation on the current state of global and EU climate action, focusing on challenges and possible solutions.

n-ost.org/event/kitche...

1/2 The political landscape has shifted: less focus on the climate crisis, less money for adaptation, more voices denying its urgency. So where does that leave climate action, and who picks up the work when major players step back?

For registration and more information, follow n-ost.org/event/kitche...

What do we really know about life under occupation? Join the discussion with:
• Raji Abdul Salam, Chief Legal Data Archivist at @trpforjustice.bsky.social
• Lenie Umerova, Crimean Tatar activist and former prisoner of war

Intensified discussions about possible peace deals between Ukraine and Russia make one question urgent: what does "peace" under Russian control actually look like? Ukraine's occupied territories answer that question. They also risk becoming instruments of political bargaining.

Within the project “Life Under Occupation”, sixteen journalists from UA, GE FR and PL formed cross-border teams, researched for months, and produced investigations. Join us for the presentation of their work:

1/2 Introducing "Digging More Deeply": a new climate investigations project by n-ost.

Reporting on climate change in Eastern Partnership countries poses unique challenges on journalists, as access to data and resources for investigative reporting is often limited.

“The classification affects a network of journalists. The aim is to manipulate reporting within Europe.”

n-ost board member Tamina Kutscher spoke with Deutschlandfunk about Russia declaring us an "undesirable organisation."

2/3The most powerful moments? When Maksym Butkevych, Leniie Umierova, and Oleh Baturyn shared what Russian captivity taught them. Between digital security workshops, trauma interviewing sessions, and viewing pre-war Kherson footage, participants learned how survivor voices anchor investigative work.
