Its a real threat to the claimant. One, our clients requires around 15000 liters of fuel and release is huge amounts of c. O 2, the defense is an expensive undertaking. In 2020 to 2. 00 trillion dollars was spent on the military worldwide. The war and ukraine has accelerated, the global arms race. And new conflicts like to maureen goza will continue to intensify world wide military spending of the production of tanks, ships combat to croft and munition is rump tom. This is bad news for us and for the clients talking about Greenhouse Gas emissions when it comes to war in the military. Me Something Weird walk rates, all sorts of destruction. People get killed, forced burned down, an entire seat is destroyed. And all that it is horrible. Beyond imagination, but here i want to focus on the emissions, the military c o 2 footprint is a mess of blind spot, partially because the data is really sparse. Look at this map, it shows the quantity of the data that governments submit to the you when, when it comes to their military emissions. The reporting of the 5 countries with the biggest military budgets this also cedric to a very poor india, the 2nd largest military. But troop size doesnt give any emission seniors at all. You cant begin to think about managing effectively. Youre going to ask us the mission. So you dont know what they are in the 1st place. Clinical trial works at the conflict and environmental observatory. Weve got at the moment, very limited knowledge, really, but weve been trying to map this and assess it, but because its science sit tight, find if the United Nations framework commits on Climate Change and theres too many holes. And we need governments to recognize that this is the importance of this. The origin of this problem dates back to the kyoto protocol climate agreement adopted in 1997 back then after strong lobbing from the United States the worlds meaning that rewards attempted from declaring their emissions. Then came the periods agreement to 2015. They left it up to golf, invents to decide how and where to cut their emissions. And the military reporting was, again, not made mandatory. This fight today we have no clue how much the worlds armies limit. But we do know the problem is getting bigger. Military spending worldwide grow 3. 7 percent, on average in 2022 in eastern europe, triggered by russias invasion of ukraine. It went up by 58 percent in a row. Part of this is going to modernize him to fight a jet fleet. Some countries are replacing their old f sixteens which are being sent to ukraine with this new f 35. Right now, in europe alone, there are around a 120. 00 if 35. 00 and operation. The talk is march and its producer expects this number to rise to 62030 the last splints to buy some 2500 new units. Such long term commitments are called locked in. The f 35 that are being bought now will flight and burned fuel up until the 2070 according to one analysis for each 100 nautical miles long. Its around a 185 kilometers, one single f, 35. 00 inmates as much as you to as an average u. K. Gasoline car, grieving for one year. So what did the worlds armed forces have to say for themselves for reached out to the big for us, china, russia, and india for comments. But none of them got back to us. Military officials seem to see Climate Change mainly as a security risk, only of fuel such as nato c installed them back, call out their own emissions as part of the problem. But do also need to ensure that our armed forces do their part when it comes to reducing emissions. Theres no way we can get to the next 0 without also reducing emissions from the military sector. But its hard to know how much of a reduction is needed if nobody knows how much the military actually admits. Thats why scientists started calculating. We estimated it was somewhere between 3. 3 percent and 0. 07 a global emissions with a best estimate of 5. 5 percent. This is towards parking, so he co wrote a study thats calculated the global footprint of the military, the number of military personnel and was extreme back to spending was significant. Military activity was significant. The number of large pieces of hardware. But a lot of this data is very how long to find or to attach directly to emissions. So we just had to piece together from, from what we could most countries dont publish that data on the military, Greenhouse Gas emissions, claiming it would be a, is to their national security. But they do like to talk about the size of their military, with details about their aircraft, fleet tube size and so on. The Research Just use data like this, when estimating the emissions of concerts that withheld specific data. One thing we do now about india rusher and china rate is a good estimate of the size of military policy. Intensive number s now, and then you look at the relationships between number tests and now the size of emissions in western countries. And you say okay, well, roughly is going to that those ratios are going to apply in those countries united depending on how many extra bands have various other factors, they just make a few assumptions. The Us Armed Forces represent 39 percent of all the military spending on the planet and all that money causes and unbelievable amount of nations. As an institution, the pentagon is the biggest single Greenhouse Gas. Im either in the world so big that it didnt meet small Greenhouse Gas sustain entire countries such as sweden or finland. And lets be clear. Were only talking about the emissions it takes to build up and sustain a military. If the worst case happens and direct me to, to be actually goes to war, emissions go up immensely. Look at this graph that shows you ask me detailed of Greenhouse Gas emissions from 1975 to 2018. In 1991 theres a spike right when that 1st before happened. Then it goes down as cold war tensions east. And you asked me to 3rd bases abroad, close down. Then another spike from 2001 after 911 and things agents of against 10 and your rec. But the conflict in ukraine took measuring thing, fundamental impact of war to a whole new level. It is a conflict in the big data era where we can follow the fed to, to satellite images and the ukraine government even publishes what the Environmental Impact the military reactions have, including the units of equipment destroyed and the cost of emissions. This study funded by insurance from ukraine and us estimated that during the 1st a year and a half after the russian invasion, ukraine, 150000000 metric tons of c o 2 were admitted. This is equivalent to belgium emissions in the same periods. The war fighting of generates quite a lot of emissions. Lena, the clerk is a climate scientist and the lead, the author of this study to use it show a fossil fuels for the tanks, find subjects, but also the whole logistics, the hunting. And you know the bullet from the lines to bring the new and munition rotates. Soldiers provide food, etc, etc. What i sort of in you should expect to that and that would be the biggest source of the me, sions. But thats actually most notes. The case of the biggest source of emissions comes from having to rebuild. Ukraine does accounts for 36 percent of the nations warfare comes 2nd with 25 percent. Then you have fires with 15 percent because in many cases, 5 fighters cannot access to the territory, so the fires burn up huge areas. Then civilian flights have to be diverted, which adds another chunk of emissions. The air space over ukraine is of course, closed in russia has close its air space to western airlines as a response. We cannot extensions for flights, for example, from london to tokyo, now takes around 15 hours instead of the previous 11th century routing splits an extra 18000000. 00 tons of sue to into the atmosphere in the 1st year. And a half of the conflict were also requires fuel to keep both arms running. But the russian army have used 3 and a half times must sealed into ukrainians. According to the researches this is because the russian supply lines are much longer than the ukrainian ones. The other recent study has measured the impact of warring causes. It calculated that in the 1st 60 days of the conflict, the fighting generated more than 281000 metric tons of c o 2. As much as 62500. 00 gasoline powered cars and meet in one year. And that doesnt include future emissions for reviewed and gaza. Most of it sets reduce it to the east riley air bombardment and invasion of the posting in territory. As we publish this veto, this study has not yet been peer reviewed. So it needs to be taken with caution. Still some more evidence that points to the norms impacted. War has on Climate Change. So where does that leave us . Military forces that are massive drivers, Climate Change, war makes it worse a lot worse. So what can we do about it . There is a tension of pause between unitary capabilities and Climate Change in the emissions. And its up to, you know, the politicians, to make, you know, the right decision, where the balance should be, what you can only making sort of transparency decision. If you have some numbers that have been some baby steps in the right direction, the wind has recognized the problem is pushing for much greater transparency. Some countries already declaring their military admissions and im up to experience the weight such as the u. K. Norway, in germany, nato has been encouraging its members to deal with this issue. They released the methodology providing guidelines and tools to calculate Greenhouse Gas emissions in the military. Experts say it has its flaws, but it might influence colder armed forces. Industry found that the Defense Industry manufacturers are also changing, setting net 0 targets and reporting their emissions. This could put pressure on the military to do the same. The reporting emissions alone is not enough. The military also needs to be willing to reduce them. And when military officials have pushed on this, they know their priorities. If we have to choose between something which is green or come but the effective, we have to choose the Company Effective solutions. So the challenge is to ensure that in the future the come, but the effect is solutions, all agreements, reducing fossil fuel dependencies, the way for military is to reduce their vulnerability. This could mean among all the things replacing jet slides by drones using electric vehicles and installing Renewable Energy generation on military bases. As well as using Nuclear Power is most clearly shown by the 11th aircraft. Carriers of the United States, which are all nuclear propelled. While these creates issues like Nuclear Waste reduces the problem of Greenhouse Gas emissions. To the proposals are they coming out of the military establishment . Are all about more military all about will do fighting all about preparing some well fight to but this is completely the wrong direction. In which we need to be going, we need to be billed. We need to find ways to build trust. We need to find Common Ground isnt much broad conversation to be had about minute tre, stretched to date and diplomacy and grade to piece building and preventing. Obviously conflict from the 1st place from an environmental perspective, the best solution would obviously be to reduce the military forces everywhere. But in 2024. The opposite is happening with military spending accelerating the secretive sectors particularly hard to clean up. A 1st step would be to lift the veil and its role in forcing Climate Change. The cluster homes and lea a single bomb release is hundreds of explosive devices which can destroy a vast areas upon impact. Often multiple, the devices explode, continue to pose a threat to decades of to woods tests because they remain life and conduct tonight at the slightest touch with terrible consequences. She moves forward step by step centimeter by centimeter, until the metal detector sounds that money has found something a small part of a bomb lower than this one isnt dangerous anymore, but we never know what well find next to me, i am protected. Good. So they are d mining 14 heck, theres of land. The mind Detection Team has only covered one 3rd of the area so far a lot can still happen. Yes, of course. Yes. I am afraid that every step is dangerous to be, but we do have safety protocols which we follow closely. So everything should be fine. But nothings for sure. So its important to keep focused and take regular breaks. This area is supposed to become agricultural land, but before it can be farmed, it needs to be safe. Every find is checked by the section commander was to that spend money, its husband got somebody. But i know i do worry about my wife. Shes well trained in and knows what shes doing, but generally its difficult to do this job is a couple because its dangerous for both of us and like a problem. According to the Mission Leader of the 8 Organization Handicap International constantly reminds them of it. They earn good money way above the average, and the work never runs out. But this is not something they celebrate. We get the government. Its sad to see that today. Bombs are raining down on other countries like ukraine. But a lot of what about the civilians that hold on at the top we hear in laos are still suffering from a war that took place many years ago is okay. And yet continues to be a danger to our lives when. Because this is what awaits people in todays world zones, to come out to them out of court by as the indo china conflict wasnt fucked in vietnam, only then also saw communist forces in the us supported army face off and allows between 1963 and 74, the us dropped more than 2000000 tons of munitions on the country. Incendiary and cluster bombs, shells in mines. Its estimated that every force village in laos still has unexploded ordnance. This is what theyre searching for. And finding every day they market with a sandbag stepping on, it means it will explode. Even heat caused by some child can make it go off. Provide me with finding one means that there are more large zillow noise one dropped, the bomb container contains 600 to 700 explosive devices. Would it be in this area . Is haley, and if the munition is dropped from an altitude that was not high enough and then it doesnt explode. But am i thought we estimate that 30 percent of the explosive devices didnt go off of the end are still here with it . They are experts. They know when to touch and when not to touch a piece of munition. This motor shell is being placed in a hole in the ground to minimize tract when it explodes. Destination is the only way to remove the threat. But 1st, people in the area are warned to stay away. The, the, the, the, the blast like that change chief for his life. He was 17 when he last part of his arm. Every year, dozens of people experienced a similar fate. Farmers who dig children who play, they lose arms, legs sometimes their lives. And then i have the mcconnell we were playing a game with my bowl disappeared into the bushes. Mabel, who, i didnt find it there, but i found something else. I didnt know when it was round and made of metal metal with the mac, how you doing and then i thought i could play with it to my name the key. It was a bomb, me, but she for us as he became suicidal and thought hed never find a wife and start a family. But he did. Therefore, children bring them much joy, but also concern morgans has we constantly worry about the children. I tell them that they have to be very careful when they play, that they cant touch anything. Well, look at your dad. I say that could happen to you. Youve tried life with one arm has its challenges, but she for meets them. In one of the worlds least developed countries, there isnt much opportunity to make a living except in agriculture. She for says hes lucky to have one healthy arm he can use to provide for his family. But here too, hes taking co risk of the of what i mean. I do get scared the night before me. Another farmer worked this field and Nothing Happened to him. So i assume that its safe for the final and that there arent any unexploded bombs here that many people here in los live with the trauma of war. Mine clearance workers likes that money in front of them are trying to remove that after a hard days work. Its dinner time. Today theres enough food for everyone as of now. So lets element out by the we are safe by and the everyone is okay. And we are relieved or when how but tomorrow is another day and well face new, dangerous move in value and go for the house. That is our job, but i didnt with them. So be better than the. Its been almost 50 years since the war and allows ended. But in a way, it hasnt living here comes with model dangers every day of the the a swiss made mine suite by is being tested by the ukranian company. And they blown, one of the launch is great and produces in the country. It wants to play the region around the city of mutual life of mines, so that green can be cultivated here again, up to 30 percent of the companies. Phone land is strewn with unexploded ordnance really was. So you credited a lot of land to i had called to land to reach the need to do mining and the machine. So help us to, to do this process more quickly. This is how it works. The Remote Control clearing machine breaks the land line into small pieces or explodes it. This footage is from as about john. The vehicle being used in ukraine costs around 1000000 swiss francs over a 1000000 years. The Green Company nibble on pays health. The other half is covered by funds from germany, Swiss Company global clearance solutions. So g c s has its Production Facility and still cabinet and they constance. As the c e o explains, the machine can conduct a range of clearance tasks. A young man is open unto means. This is a mine clear which works with an open cage concept does. So it moves in a Forward Movement when the chisel starting to ground and hit a mine. And if the pressure wave escapes through this open cage, it can efficiently clear land mines onto personnel mines on t type mines to a depth of 30 centimeters much the machine, such as minimal damage shot unclear along the size of one and a half football fields. A day before the one and these metal detectives at the most common instruments used in mind, clarence, the manually controlled, uncovered ground, send to me to by send to me to the swiss. The mining machine by contrast, is unmanned and Remote Controlled, making the work less dangerous before the war and ukraine, only around 50 of these machines was sold worldwide. In the last 2 years, demand has risen significantly. G. C. S alone will deliver around 70 units to ukraine by mid 2020, the full force of Green Produce and nipple loan, and the rest of the state is often management will 30 must be in the in this evening. Weve been surprised by the demand you were responding expanding capacities. Though, of course, we know that the current demand wont last forever and that we have to be flexible to fix it on passing could. In addition to g, c, s, there are 2 other companies worldwide, but manufacture of similar machines, commercially, the company del king in croatia, and on track limited in britain a there also some smaller scale suppliers, such as the dig a foundation. And this was canceling a fun it manufacturers a maximum of 2 machines a year that is currently renting out production from ukraine. One reason for the limited number of supply is, is that the job also involves Training Operations and setting up infrastructure the most people sometimes think its like a loan mode that you just order and drive across the field for them to do it. But its not like that was that, and you kind of for example, and besides widespread contamination from land mines and also other weapon, its the most one of this. And you have to know what kind of technology you need and how best to use it as well. If that requires a lot of training on monitoring to ensure the machine is used correctly, its easy. I guess it depends on thats why g c s also offers on site training. A team from the Green Company and they belong, for example, look to 7 we cost that was carried out in ukraine boulevard funds that this is not the bottom of the say of the machines months working with a good team. And thats why for this moment we sell that try and increase the j. C. S a. Our team naval on has been awarded a permit from the Ukrainian Government to use this with the mining machine the Green Produce. And also he wants to de mine its own fields, but to accept mine clear and its contracts from other farms depending on how long the will last. It could be a long time project.
