No. 9: Ukraine's Energy and Climate Challenges
This issue addresses Ukraine's pressing energy and climate challenges, particularly the anticipated heat and power deficit for the coming winter. It explores immediate solutions that align with Ukraine's long-term clean energy transition and EU integration. Contributors from the Green Deal Ukraїna Project of Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin and Ukrainian NGOs discuss critical topics, including strengthening Ukraine's power infrastructure, enhancing cross-border electricity connections, integrating climate policy during wartime, and promoting energy efficiency through Municipal Energy Plans. The issue also highlights the installation of hybrid solar stations at critical facilities, advancing Ukraine's energy resilience and independence amid ongoing conflict.
No. 8: The War of Maps? Spatial (Mis)Representations Of the Russo-Ukrainian War in the Digital Context
This issue critically explores the role cartographic imagery plays in framing public perception and geopolitical narratives in the context of the Russo-Ukrainian War. Case studies engage with precisely how maps—from state-sanctioned ones to visual popular art—function as a device to legitimate invasions, mobilize national identity, and deploy counter-hegemonic practices. Special attention is paid to the role that digital media play in transforming maps into symbols of resistance, propaganda, or instruments of political satire. This emphasizes the need to perceive cartography as a performative action that builds up realities, shapes international relations, and fosters conflict or strengthens national resistance.
