At COP30, military emissions continue to be left off the agenda. Through our side event, we were proud to address the intersection between climate, conflict and militaries directly, alongside @QMUL, @SIPRIorg, @HI_federation, @ecodiya and the Initiative on GHG Accounting on War.

Wars affecting every corner of the globe, military spending at a record high, and 1.5 degrees breached. Our #COP30 preview wonders what, if anything, will be delivered on conflict, climate and militarism.

#Military spending and GHG emissions are rising but reporting is getting worse. Our new analysis finds that the the top three military spenders are either no longer reporting emissions to the #UNFCCC (US, China), or the data is useless (Russia): https://t.co/67McMNU5zj

Our 2025 analysis of UNFCCC military emissions data reveals that reporting is getting worse and is undermining climate accounting and goals.

It's #EnvConflictDay; we're making progress but the challenges are huge. More people are aware and care than ever before but the rules that are supposed to protect the environment in war are broken daily, and it's people and ecosystems paying the cost.

The latest #military emissions data that governments report to the @UNFCCC is now available on https://t.co/kArIFaLFBo. What does it show? That major states are reporting less, translating a growing military emissions gap with implications for global climate goals. #COP30
Our new analysis finds that military spending and GHG emissions are rising but national emissions reporting to the #UNFCCC is getting worse. Some major military spenders have stopped reporting, including the US, Russia and China. https://t.co/ilKIJsDo2u

Are there dangers in framing climate change as a "threat multiplier" in states where militaries call the shots? #Military
In a new post on @ceobs_org @Usman_Zulfiqar_ explains how South Asia is being hard hit by the #ClimateCrisis but #India and #Pakistan's security postures are diverting money from adaptation and contributing to emissions:

We were in Copenhagen last week for the final conference of a two year @EUErasmusPlus project exploring the potential of citizen science for environmental accountability in #Ukraine. It was lovely to look back over everything we've achieved, and explore future opportunities.

We hope that our work will be useful to the Ukraine Green Recovery Platform, @UNDPUkraine and the many other stakeholders engaged in this space, including NGOs like @SaveDnipro who are closely supporting the Ukrainian government in its process. 3/3
