Join 350.org for a critical conversation moderated by Dharna Noor featuring Dr. Neta Crawford (Costs of War Project), Ramón Mejia (About Face & Grassroots Global Justice Alliance),
Ashley LaMont (Honor the Earth), and Zaki Mamdoo (350.org).  Sprawling militaries — like the United States’ massive network of bases around the globe — are enormous sources of fossil fuel emissions. In fact, the U.S. military alone emits more than Portugal and Denmark. Plus, while war rages, it reduces the international community’s cooperation to tackle the climate crisis and takes resources away from investments needed to address the impacts of climate change as countries double down on military spending.  As we start the year with multiple wars happening around the world and an already escalating climate crisis, these intertwined issues are more urgent than ever. That’s why 350 is hosting a conversation about militarism and the climate crisis on Wednesday, January 10 at 9 am PT/12 pm ET. We invite you to join us to learn why we, as climate activists, must fight for a world without war.Date & Time: Jan 10, 2024 12:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada) Register here.
