Event: Reporting on the many costs of war during the climate crisis

Climate Conversations

Afflicted by the tyranny of the immediate journalists around the world, report on conflicts and try to tell their stories about the tragedy of war while integrating the exploding costs of climate change.

No one group is more aware of this challenge than those behind Covering Climate Now and so to further understand this dilemma it staged the press briefing "War and Climate Change".

Neta C. Crawford, who was at Brown University when she wrote the paper: "Pentagon Fuel Use, Climate Change, and the Costs of War" was one of three reporters on the panel.

Following that theme was an opinion piece from Politico Magazine by Sherri Goodman and Leah Emanuel: "Why You Won’t Hear the Military Arguing About Climate Change".
