The War On Climate | Join the Climate Action Explore how military emissions impact climate change and learn how to advocate for accountability and sustainable policies to protect the planet.

We urgently need honesty on the climate crisis.

Military emissions are excluded from national emissions figures. Yes, we simply pretend they don't exist.

That means there's little pressure to reduce them.
This has to change.
