3⃣Armed conflict often harms the natural environment, which limits or hampers resilience & adaptation to #climatechange. Greater respect for #IHL can limit environmental degradation & reduce the harm & the risks that conflict-affected communities are exposed to

Spot of climate dissonance today. This morning @ResponsibleSci told our report launch that France, the largest military CO2 emitter in the EU doesn't report its emissions. This afternoon, Macron in the #UNSC loudly promoting #ClimateSecurity.

Time to move beyond rhetoric.
