How wars destroy the environment and contribute to climate change
Did you know that militaries are responsible for 5.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions? Wars and conflicts not only have a devastating impact on people's lives, but also negatively affect the environment and contribute significantly to climate change. In its first year, the Russian invasion of Ukraine generated more greenhouse gas emissions than the Czech Republic. In Gaza, the destruction of ecosystems is being referred to as ecocide and a war crime. In the future, the reconstruction of post-war areas will also present a problem.
