Defence generated over 500 Mt CO2e in 2019, accounting for ~1.1% of total global emissions. These emissions were mainly distributed among air forces (~20–25%), navies (~30–35%), and armies (~30–35%), with a small proportion coming from other military bodies, such as border patrols and coast guards.

Whilst the footprint of air forces and navies is driven by emissions from air and sea platforms respectively, armies’ footprint is dominated by emissions from bases and other stationary assets, whilst a country’s emissions pro le may vary signi cantly depending on whether or not it is actively engaged in a war. From the more than 500 Mt CO2e generated by Armed Forces globally, approximately one third is likely to be sequestered by the vast amount of land owned by the military (2–3% of the world’s total land).

Defence’s share of global emissions is comparable with that of civil aviation and maritime transport. However, military emissions could contribute up to 5% of the global footprint (as referenced in the aforementioned Nature paper), placing Armed Forces footprint over the level of cement production.

~97% of emissions from mobile assets are generated during the operation of military platforms, which are mainly driven by the high number of moderately- emitting active assets—as is the case of the Army’s land vehicles—or by the operation of a lower number of highly-emitting vehicles, such as the air and the sea platforms of the Air Force and the Navy.

The US has the biggest military in the world, and we estimate that the footprint of its stationary assets and platforms’ operations account for ~20% of global Defence emissions—roughly 110 MtCO2e. Meanwhile, we estimate that the UK’s armed forces produce ~5 MtCO2e, which translates to ~1% of global military emissions.

In 2022, the US Air Force introduced the Department’s Climate Action Plan, and at the opening ceremony of last year’s NATO summit announced an organisational cut in emissions for its members of 45% by 2030 and a net-zero target by 2050

Gaza conflict's environmental toll: A surge in carbon emissions

The new research calculates that the carbon cost of rebuilding Gaza’s 100,000 damaged buildings using contemporary construction techniques will generate at least 30m metric tonnes of warming gases. This is on a par with New Zealand’s annual CO2 emissions and higher than 135 other countries and territories including Sri Lanka, Lebanon and Uruguay.

Climate consequences including sea level rise, drought and extreme heat were already threatening water supplies and food security in Palestine. The environmental situation in Gaza is now catastrophic, as much of the farmland, energy and water infrastructure has been destroyed or polluted, with devastating health implications probably for decades to come, experts have warned. Between 36% and 45% of Gaza’s buildings – homes, schools, mosques, hospitals, shops – have so far been destroyed or damaged, and construction is a major driver of global heating.

Building Israel’s iron wall, which runs 65km along most of its border with Gaza and features surveillance cameras, underground sensors, razor wire, a 20ft high metal fence and large concrete barriers, contributed almost 274,000 tonnes of CO2. This is almost on par with the entire 2022 emissions by Central African Republic, one of the most climate vulnerable countries in the world.

By 4 December, at least 200 American cargo flights were reported to have delivered 10,000 tonnes of military equipment to Israel. The study found that the flights guzzled around 50m litres of aviation fuel, spewing an estimated 133,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere – more than the entire island of Grenada last year https://perma.cc/UKE9-M7RP
