Conflict & Climate
Military activity and its vast supply chains are estimated to account for approximately 5.5% of global peacetime greenhouse gas emissions, yet this significant carbon footprint remains largely excluded from climate frameworks and reporting standards — both in Canada and internationally.
Together, we’ll examine how military emissions are excluded from global accounting, what that means for Canada’s climate commitments, and what it would take to change it.
Open to climate advocates, policy professionals, researchers, students, and anyone who believes the full cost of war belongs in the climate conversation.
Featured Speaker: Ali Borhani
Following his TEDx Talk, selected as an Editor’s Pick, Ali Borhani FRSA explores how the significant carbon footprint of global conflict has remained absent from climate policy. Ali makes the case for bringing military emissions into the global climate conversation and why we need a GC3P (Global Conflict Carbon Compass and Pricing) to finally measure, disclose, and mitigate this overlooked source of climate impact.
Canadian Policy Expert: Tamara Lorincz
Tamara Lorincz is one of Canada’s leading voices on military emissions as an environmental lawyer and researcher who has spent over 20 years making the case that defence spending has a carbon cost that no one is counting.
