Side event: Bonn SB 58 panel discussion, 14:45-16:00 CEST, 7 June 2023
Military greenhouse gas emissions are estimated at 5.5% of global emissions, and military spending is rising sharply. Because reporting military emissions to the UNFCCC is voluntary, data is often absent or incomplete – this is the military emissions gap. Join us in Bonn, or online via YouTube, as we outline what needs to change within the UNFCCC, and how the Global Stocktake is an opportunity to begin to remedy this.
