How war damages Earth’s life-support systems

• Weapons production increases industrial pollution

• Military mobilization raises fuel use and emissions

• Gunfire, explosions, and burning release pollutants and toxic residues

• Destruction of land and infrastructure damages soil, water, and ecosystems

• Reconstruction after war adds further environmental pressure

Global consequences

• Trade and transport are disrupted

• Food supply chains break down

• Prices increase worldwide

• The environmental and economic shock spreads far beyond the conflict zone
