Abstract
The purpose of the studyis to analyze the sociological discourse in the field of crisis environmental communications in the context of crisis (armed conflict).Research methods:the basic research method was case and content analysis, which are suitable for studying previous research on the achievements of scientists on environmental threats and crises, crisis communications, as well as further understanding of the importance of crisis environmental communications during armed conflicts.Results:The war in Ukraine is a crisis that significantly affects the environment and deepens the environmental crisis. Crisis environmental communications and crisis management are important forovercoming such crises. Having a communication plan and a professional team in place in a crisis is the basis for preventing and overcoming it. The author examines the impact of previous armed conflicts, in particular, the war in Yugoslavia, on the region’s ecology, as well as its experience in bringing to justice for environmental damage. In particular, it was found that the experience of prosecution under international humanitarian lawisminimal, and the issue of environmental protection during armed conflict is practically unregulated and extremely difficult to prosecute. Ukraine’s previous environmental crisis communications before and after the Russian army blew up the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant dam indicates the lack of thorough prior communication training.Conclusions:the analysis shows that understanding and acceptance of environmental risks is important for their prevention and response to crisis situations. Learning from its own experience and analyzing previous crises in other countries, Ukraine should conduct environmental crisis communications in compliance with the rules of conducting such communications, sharing this experience with other countries. This is an important tool for preventing environmental disasters and reducing their consequences. Keywords: crisis environmental communications, crisis communications, Yugoslavia, crisis, war in Ukraine, armed conflict, ecology, Russian Federation.
