US and UK militaries owe combined $111bn in climate reparations

According to report published by UK based thinktank common wealth and US based climate and community project, the two military groups have generated 430m metric tons of carbon dioxide since the 2015 Paris agreement.

This report underscores the urgency of addressing climate change and holding accountable those who contribute to it.
