For a year now, the world has been a different place: The Russian army’s brutal invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, not only plunged that country and its people into hardship and suffering. It also damaged structures and trust that are central to climate policy, for example. On the anniversary of this turning point, we, therefore, write about how Moscow’s energy and climate policies continue to fuel the climate crisis; how Russia itself is suffering as a result; how the country’s business model, which relies on exporting oil and gas, is faltering; and how international climate research is being hampered as a result.
