Energy, Environment and Security in Eastern Europe

摘要

This paper shows the links between energy, environment and security in three East European countries – Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine. It is based on the report of the Environment and Security Initiative and incorporates results from more recent research. The paper highlights the importance of recognising the region’s geopolitical positioning between the European Union and Russian Federation, improving energy security without jeopardising the environment, cleaning up obsolete infrastructures and stocks, addressing frozen conflicts and strengthening cooperation over shared rivers and ecosystems.
