With military emissions now on the climate agenda, should global military spending be part of the climate finance and Loss and Damage debate? If so how?

18.30-20.00, 6 December 2023 at Green x Digital Pavilion Zone B7 BLDG 88 (First Floor Thematic Arena 3)

The panel will discuss how military emissions link to military spending; the scale of need for both climate finance and Loss and Damage fund; and why, practically, the time has come to elevate those calls to prioritise funding for the climate emergency over that of war spending.

This event is dedicated to the memory of Professor Saleemul Huq.
