What is the military's contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions, and what immediate actions are being taken to mitigate this impact?

The global military sector contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, estimated at 5.5 percent annually by the Conflict and Environment Observatory (CEOBS). This sector's high energy consumption, primarily from fossil fuels, necessitates urgent action to mitigate its climate impact and ensure operational readiness in a changing environment. Initiatives are underway, but the scale of the challenge demands immediate, comprehensive changes.

How do different decarbonization pathways impact air pollution reduction and associated health outcomes?

The study, involving six independent models, consistently shows decarbonization, particularly through electrification with wind and solar, significantly reduces co-emitted air pollutants. Conversely, replacing coal with fossil gas or biomass may offset these benefits, with biomass potentially increasing ammonia emissions from land clearing and fertilizer use.
