In this issue on Climate Change in Russia, Laura A. Henry and Lisa McIntosh Sundstrom analyze how Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has heightened obstacles to addressing climate change; Edward C. Holland and Elvira Churyumova point out how the most significant impacts of climate change in the Republic of Kalmykia, located in Russia’s southwest, are distinct from those visible nationally and include desertification and increased pressure on an already low-quality water supply.
