Global crises are significantly affecting the media agenda on environmental and climate topics. In particular, the war in Ukraine reduced the attention of the Russian media to these issues by almost half, and the interest in the environmental agenda continues to decline. This conclusion follows from the result of media publications' data analysis.

In the English-language media, coverage of topics related to environmental and climate issues has greatly moved downward. However, unlike the Russian media, the situation with the coverage of these topics did not change after the beginning of the war in Ukraine. \n","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"md"},{"id":30,"value":"","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"html"},{"id":109,"value":" The lack of attention of the Russian-language media to environmental and climate issues is caused by a shift of interest in covering the invasion and its consequences.\nDespite the decrease in the number of publications, the data collected from Russian news telegram channels show a rising interest of the social media subscribers in all kind of news, including environmental topics.

Until recently, Russia was considered an outsider in this area and just began to change in the middle of 2020. The intensification of the movement toward carbon neutrality worldwide and the prospects for introducing new regulations in the main export markets forced Russia to reconsider its approach. Thus, in 2021, the usage of \"sustainability\" in media had grown by 2-2.5 times compared to 2019 and 2020. There was a steady upward trend in interest in sustainable development, but the war with Ukraine threw the progress in media coverage back to the times of the COVID-19 pandemic.
