NATURE HAS NO DEFENCE against war
POLICY
▼
The War On Climate is undertaking a strategic initiative to bring the environmental and climate impacts of armed conflict into the heart of global climate policy. At the centre of this effort is the push to engage with the UNFCCC Paris Agreement process, especially through platforms like COP30, to ensure that military emissions are finally and fully counted in national and global climate targets and reports.
This initiative aligns with the Paris Agreement’s “global stocktake”, by seeking to spotlight the gap in emissions reporting caused by the military’s exemption. The aim is to close that gap, drive policy change, and lock in long-term integration of these deliberately unreported emissions into climate frameworks. But the mission doesn’t end with COP30.
The War On Climate seeks to keep this issue on the agenda, building pressure and momentum until real reforms take hold. Reducing carbon from combat and promoting peace is in everyone’s interest.
The Global North spends 30 times more on their militaries than on protecting the environment.
THIS IMBALANCE DEEPENS THE CRISIS IN REGIONS ALREADY HIT HARDEST BY WAR AND CLIMATE DAMAGE.
