Thread by @CaroRackete

This year, I thought it would be important to create stronger links between climate justice, peace/disarmament and migration movements.

Whatever you are personally most engaged with, all of these are interconnected.

Here is a very short thread with some resources🧵

First of all, this is what the head of the Ukrainian delegation said yesterday at the #IPCC meeting

"Human-induced climate change and the war on Ukraine have the same roots -- fossil fuels -- and our dependence on them,"

Obviously the military has high carbon emissions which they often only partly report, if at all. Groups that are doing work on this are for example @milemissionsgap or @ResponsibleSci

Some explained in the inputs of this webinar

This @GreenpeaceEU report shows how EU military is deployed around the globe to help secure oil & gas. EU military is not only a "defence force" as some might want us to believe, it does forcefully protect our exploitation.

Coming from another angle @TNInstitute has a great primer on "climate security" - looking at military solutions to climate impacts, corporate profits, impacts on the most vulnerable and alternative justice focussed solutions.

This is on who is profiting from border industry - often military/weapon industry - and what it means for people on the move, also by @TNInstitute

Today, the IPCC comes out incl info on the biodiversity crisis. Our ecological problem are caused by social injustice and very unequal power structures between people and military often fortifies those.

As a last one for now, maybe re-read Philip Alston's 2019 report for the UN on climate and poverty. Climate apartheid would likely be enforced through higher border walls and racist migration policy in the EU.
