    Fuel, food and fertilizer shortage will hit biodiversity and climate

    As well as the humanitarian catastrophe it is inflicting, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February is disrupting global flows of vital commodities such as fuel, food and fertilizer. This will affect biodiversity and the environment far beyond the war zones, with implications for sustainability and well-being worldwide.
