Description

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has destroyed lives, homes and infrastructure, triggering a grave humanitarian crisis. It has also shocked the global economy, disrupting supply chains, generating inflation, raising concerns over food and energy security and threatening an already fragile economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. This session will seek to understand the impacts and implications of the war in Ukraine on rural places and policy responses to support people, places and firms.
