At COP30, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called attention to the environmental impacts of conflict, urging leaders to consider this often-ignored aspect of climate change. He cited the ongoing war in Gaza, which has produced 61 million tonnes of rubble, with a significant portion contaminated by hazardous materials like asbestos. The conflict has also devastated local ecosystems, as water, food, and energy are weaponized, leading to irreversible damage to farmland. In Syria, the worst drought in over sixty years has been attributed to climate change, complicating the nation's recovery from war. Despite these pressing issues, the environmental consequences of conflict remain largely unaddressed in climate discussions, prompting concerns about the moral implications of this oversight.
