Abstract

The main aim of this article is to examine how the Russia–Ukraine war has affected the agency of Ukrainian environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs), hypothesizing that the conflict has expanded their role beyond traditional conservation activities, enhancing their capacity to influence governance and develop active agency to contribute to the recovery of Ukraine in both domestic and international politics. To explore these dynamics, the research triangulates among three types of sources: academic journal articles, policy documents, and a comparative analysis of the activities of three Ukrainian ENGOs before, in, and after 2022.
