SUMMARY:Feminist Resistance: Militarism and Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Feminist Resistance: Militarism and Climate Change is taking place on the road to COP26, as WILPF and other civil society organisations, activists, and governments around the world prepare for the critical and much-anticipated UN Climate Change Conference. Despite an increase in awareness around the climate crisis, the role of militarism in the climate emergency is still severely overlooked or even wilfully ignored.\nFor example, if the US military were a country, its fuel usage alone would make it the 47th largest emitter ( https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/papers/ClimateChangeandCostofWar ) of greenhouse gases in the world. Yet, whilst national governments are legally required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the military’s “carbon bootprint” is not a mandatory reporting requirement by the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The military’s contribution to climate change lacks transparency, making it hard to quantify and even harder to hold to public account.\nThis webinar will raise awareness about this connection and address the role of militarism as a root cause of climate change. By hearing from panellists with diverse experiences from regions across the world, it will also highlight and celebrate the potential of climate action, feminism, and peace to provide solutions.\n
