Greetings friends, colleagues and supporters,

We hope this email finds you well as we emerge from a summer of extreme heat and stress into cooler days and nights.

Here in the UK, from schools to hospitals, public transport to agriculture and industrialised animal farming, this summer has brought home the deep harm wrought by a rapidly heating planet. This desperate situation is made all the worse by military activities, including and especially wars of aggression that are, fatally, inextricably linked to oil and gas production.

It is becoming very clear that this unholy alliance of war, conflict and oil is at the heart of the climate emergency. On this military/climate nexus, our work – research, reports, conferences, webinars – happens in collaboration with colleagues internationally. Our collective advocacy is gaining traction as we seek to reverse both military emissions and military spending so they are in line with legally binding agreements signed by all nations under the UNFCCC as well as in support of climate finance.

But the incomprehensible scale and horror of what befell the innocent people of Nepal makes it clear: the planet cannot take much more.  We have no choice but to move with the utmost urgency.

As we now start to prepare for our participation at COP31 in November – two official side events, press conferences, extensive lobbying and advocacy efforts – we hope this current TPNS news round-up has something of interest for you.  Always reach out if you have questions or want to know more about our work, or how to support what we do.

Onwards,
Deborah, Ho-Chih and all at TPNS. Continue reading →
