The U.S. military is the world’s biggest climate destroyer, emitting
billions of tons of greenhouse gases while waging wars that have a
devastating impact on human lives and the environment. The Department
of Defense in Canada is the largest consumer of fossil fuels in
Canada. Military bases bring pollution and destruction both within the
borders of the U.S. and Canada and abroad.

Join Climate Convergence and our guest speakers from Ottawa and
Hawaiʻi for a Webinar about the devastating impact of war and
militarization on the climate and the necessity of working together
with the antiwar movement to fight for humanity and the planet!

Featuring Speakers:
