Climate Militarism
Escalating military spending and geopolitical tensions have become a major obstacle to climate justice. Militarism increases greenhouse gas emissions, diverts critical resources and attention from climate action, and threatens to militarise responses to climate change. Climate justice requires peace to ensure that the climate crisis is not compounded by war and conflict, and to prevent the victims of climate breakdown being turned into 'threats' to be controlled by military force and state repression. In 2011, TNI brought together researchers and activists to analyse this, resulting in the book, The Secure and the Dispossessed - How the Military and Corporations are shaping a climate-changed world. TNI also helped establish the Global Working Group on Arms, Militarism and Climate Justice, which has put militarism onto the agenda of the global climate movement.
