COP28’s Delinquent Emitter: The US Military Industrial Complex
As the world gathers at COP28 in Dubai amidst an accelerating climate crisis, the Oakland Institute’s new brief, Exempted! The US Military Industrial Complex and the Climate Crisis, reveals a critical blind spot in global climate agreements.

NATO – Klimakiller (de)
Erklärung der Global Women for Peace United Against NATO (GWUAN)
Die Nordatlantikpakt-Organisation ist ein 1949 gegründetes Militärbündnis von 31 Ländern des globalen Nordens. Die NATO wird von den Vereinigten Staaten dominiert, seit ihrer Gründung ist der Oberste Befehlshaber immer ein amerikanischer General. NATO-Verbündete müssen mit der US-Militärmaschinerie, dem größten Verbraucher fossiler Brennstoffe auf dem Planeten, interoperabel sein.

Statement from the Global Women for Peace United Against NATO (GWUAN)
The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation is an exclusive military alliance of 31 Euro-Atlantic countries founded in 1949. It is dominated by the United States.

However, no attack justifies violations of the laws of war. Continue reading →
