Global Wars v/s Global Warming

सार

This article explores the complex interrelation between global warfare and climate change, with a particular focus on the Russia–Ukraine war and its broader environmental consequences. As the world grapples with escalating temperatures, disrupted ecosystems, and extreme weather events, military conflicts further aggravate global warming through increased fossil fuel consumption, infrastructure destruction, and resource exploitation. The Russia–Ukraine conflict, in particular, has significantly intensified greenhouse gas emissions, disrupted global energy markets, and hindered international climate cooperation. This study analyzes how armed conflicts not only divert attention and resources from climate action but also act as catalysts for long-term ecological damage. By connecting the dots between war-induced emissions, displaced populations, and weakened environmental governance, the article underscores the urgent need for integrated peace and climate strategies in shaping a sustainable future.
