About This Podcast
What happens to forests, rivers, and wildlife when the world looks away during war? This episode digs into a legal analysis of how armed conflicts damage ecosystems, from Agent Orange in Vietnam to deforestation in Syria and the ongoing war in Ukraine. We unpack a striking fact: the world's militaries would rank as the fourth largest carbon emitter on the planet, yet military emissions are excluded from the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement entirely.
