Prevention of environmental exploitation in armed conflict
2025-11-06
Though humanity has always counted its war casualties in terms of dead and wounded soldiers and civilians, destroyed cities and livelihoods, the environment has often remained the unpublicized victim of war. Water wells have been polluted, crops torched, forests cut down, soils poisoned, and animals killed to gain military advantage.
Furthermore, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has found that over the last 60 years, at least 40 percent of all internal conflicts have been linked to the exploitation of natural resources, whether high-value resources such as timber, diamonds, gold and oil, or scarce resources such as fertile land and water. Conflicts involving natural resources have also been found to be twice as likely to relapse.
Not to mention carbon emissions involved…
Worldwide, every 6th of November.

During Our Earth Week, community stations from all across the UK come together to talk about the climate crisis, and to celebrate life on earth. Throughout the week (which takes place in the week of the COP talks), as many shows as possible take part, and there are conversations going on all over the country about how the climate crisis is affecting our communities, and what we can do to try and stop it – or at least slow it down – and how we can adapt to it, and make ourselves more resilient. And we celebrate the very thing we’re trying to save: nature, and all of life within it, and ask ourselves: how can we help nature and wildlife to survive, and thrive? Keep an eye on this page and the news section and through the year more information will start to be added in about this year’s event. If you want to take part, please email crenuk1@gmail.com.
