SUMMARY:Green Party Webinar on Climate and the Military
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, December 9\, 2024\, 7:00 PM CST\, Online webinar\, Click here to register \n“Green Party Webinar on Climate and the Military – Mon. Dec. 9” \nOn Monday\, December 9\, at 8 PM (EST) the EcoAction Committee and the Green Party Peace Action Committee are holding a webinar on the issue of the military and climate change. Speakers will include Haig Hovaness of GPAX; Prof. David Schwartzman of EcoAction; and Sue Ann Martinson of the End Military Madness Against the Earth Committee of WAMM (Women Against Military Madness). Pre-registration is required. RSVP Here. \nThe military impacts climate change in multiple ways. War and military conflicts are environmental and climate disasters. Severe weather events and global warming destabilize countries\, especially those with already unstable governments and under-resourced infrastructure. The competition for land\, water\, and food\, as well as dealing with potentially tens of millions of climate refugees (including many already coming to the US)\, increases the likelihood of military conflicts between countries. \nThe global military\, with the Pentagon in the lead\, has been the biggest greenhouse gas emissions of any institution on the planet\, representing between 1 to 5% of annual emissions.  The $2 trillion spent on the military worldwide diverts resources that could be spent on climate action instead. And many wars are fought over access to fossil fuels. \nThe Green Party Peace Action Committee (GPAX) works to strengthen the peace pillar of the USGP. GPAX supports peace actions\, produces anti-war webinars\, issues public statements\, and assists GP candidates for political office. GPAX welcomes new members who wish to participate in this work. The EcoAction Committee promotes ecological wisdom\, environmental justice\, sustainability and responsible governmental stewardship of the Earth and its inhabitants. \nHaig Hovaness is the Co-Chair of GPAX. He has written and spoken on defense issues and the danger of conflict escalation. Haig has a professional background in information technology. Videos of his GPAX presentations are available at the GPAX website\, https://gpax.gpus.org/ \nWomen Against Military Madness (WAMM) is a member-based organization whose mission is to oppose U.S. militarism and involvement in wars. WAMM challenges systems of harm\, oppression and exploitation\, and helps build movements of solidarity with others for peace and justice through education and action. \nDavid Schwartzman is a member of the EcoAction Committee. He is a Professor Emeritus\, Howard University (biogeochemist\, environmental scientist\, PhD\, Brown University) and an active member of the DC Statehood Green Party/Green Party of the United States. He will focus on the need for the near future defeat of militarized fossil capital and its political instruments. \nOrganized by the EcoAction Committee and the Green Party Peace Action Committee \n\n\n	Related
