To mark the Global Week of Action on a Fossil Free Future (14-20 Sept) and the Global Week of Action for Peace and Climate Justice (21st-27 Sept), TPNS has released it latest publication ‘Ending Fossil Fuels and Abolishing War: A Crossroads Reached’ .
The war machines and lucrative arms industries are at the heart of our climate crisis. They are fossil fuel dependent, largely rooted in the big economies and are the manifestation of decades of colonial and neo-colonial ambitions. It has resulted in a century and more of perpetual war waged on innocent civilians and our home planet. To abolish war is to eliminate a major contributor to death, environmental destruction and climate chaos. To abolish war is to begin to see the end of the military-fossil fuel relationship. To abolish war is one necessary step in pursuit of the end of fossil fuels and the zero-carbon world we must achieve. This report unpacks the issue, gives an historical context and offers up ways forward.
