World Beyond War Webinar: November 9th – War in a Changing Climate
From WorldBeyondWar:
Wars are raging and the climate is collapsing. Is there something that can be done to address both problems at once? Join this webinar with Dr. Elizabeth G. Boulton, Tristan Sykes (Just Collapse), and David Swanson, with Liz Remmerswaal Hughes moderating, to hear some new ideas and ask questions.
Here are some articles you can read from Elizabeth Boulton:
- What happens if the climate and ecological crisis is framed as a national threat? Six Insights.
- Climate Change Isn’t a Threat Multiplier. It’s the Main Threat.
- Applying war theory to the hyperthreat of climate and environmental change.
While Boulton recommends shifting resources to counter the Hyperthreat of climate collapse, governments are doing the opposite. One piece of the puzzle is their omission of military pollution from climate agreements. Here is a demand we’re making at the COP27 conference underway in Egypt at the time of this webinar.
