War devastates lives, displaces communities, and shatters societies.

According to the Conflict and Environment Observatory ( @ceobs), global militaries are also responsible for roughly 5.5% of TOTAL greenhouse gas emissions, more than the entire aviation and shipping industries combined, deepening the environmental crisis.

From Ukraine to Gaza, conflicts are fuelling a surge in greenhouse gas emissions – yet military pollution remains largely unreported and unregulated

Military greenhouse gas emissions reporting: how reliable is it?

This report investigates the problem of the underreporting of military greenhouse gas emissions. Using data from the United Nations and national government reports, it highlights systematic problems which lead to considerable underestimates (if figures are reported at all). The report explains the reasons for the underreporting and makes recommendations on how to rectify it.
