“Closing the Global Stocktake’s military and conflict emissions gap”

7 June 2023

Estimates suggest that military greenhouse gas emissions are responsible for 5.5% of global emissions, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has only increased this. Military and conflict emissions are overlooked by the UNFCCC and IPCC, and the Global Stocktake is an opportunity to begin to remedy this.

Speakers: Lennard de Klerk (Initiative on GHG Accounting of war) – Monitoring conflict emissions; Linsey Cottrell (CEOBS) – Military emissions reporting; Axel Michaelowa (Perspectives Climate Group) – Military emissions, UNFCCC and the GST; Deborah Burton (Tipping Point North South) – Civil society role; Ellie Kinney (CEOBS)
