13 November – 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm

Event flyer with green and yellow tones reads: Disarming the Climate Crisis: The True Cost of Militarism, with event details for November 13 at the UNFCCC. Text discusses the climate impact of militarism and advocates for peace and justice.

In this official COP30 side event, explore the deep connections between militarism and the climate crisis — from hidden military emissions and the vast gap between military spending and climate finance to the catastrophic risks nuclear weapons pose to the planet. Discover how militarism intensifies the climate crisis and hits frontline communities the hardest. Learn about avenues for peace and climate justice– from the Fossil Fuel Treaty to the Global Energy Embargo for Palestine.
