Climate Collateral | Transnational Institute

This webinar will examine options to channel wasteful, harmful military spending toward repairing both acute and diffuse socio-environmental harms and repurposing parts of the military industrial complex to drive the clean energy transition.

While nations have negotiated around reducing greenhouse gas emissions
across many sectors, one higher emitting sector has remained
more-or-less untouched by policy ambition: emissions from military
operations and industries.

This omission is no accident: powerful governments have consistently
blocked even assessments of the environmental and climate destruction
wrought by sprawling military operations and toxic manufacturing.
Meanwhile, high-profile conflicts, geo-strategic rivalry, and the
impacts of climate change themselves signal an era of rapidly escalating
danger to communities around the world — increasing the vulnerability
to climate change.

Join us for our webinar, Climate Collateral: Exposing the Role of
Militarism in the Climate Crisis at 15:30 London Time / 10:30 New
York on Tuesday, November 28th to dig deeper with progressive experts
and authors of two recent reports: Less War, Less Warming and
Climate Collateral.

The webinar, jointly hosted by the Transnational Institute, the
Climate and Community Project , Win Without War and Common
Wealth, will present findings from recent reports on the scope and
impact of emissions from militaries and related industries in the US,
UK, and across NATO member states. The webinar will examine options to
channel wasteful, harmful military spending toward repairing both acute
and diffuse socio-environmental harms and repurposing parts of the
military industrial complex to drive the clean energy transition.
