The ongoing war in Ukraine has resulted in greenhouse gas emissions estimated at 230 million tons of CO2 equivalent over three years. This figure highlights the war's substantial environmental impact, comparable to the annual emissions from 120 million cars. Experts have assessed emissions attributed directly to military activities, as well as those tied to reconstruction, infrastructure damage, and displaced populations. The emissions rose significantly each year of the conflict, reflecting the increasing intensity of the war and its broader implications for climate change.
"The Russian invasion of Ukraine has led to emissions of 230 million tons of CO2 equivalent, comparable to what 120 million cars emit in a year."
"This study calculates emissions attributed to the war, considering both sides of the conflict and various aspects, including military actions and future reconstruction efforts."
