Center for Environmental Initiatives Ecoaction draws attention to the report on climate famage caused by war. The Initiative on Greenhouse Gas Accounting of War (IGGAW) assesses the total climate damage caused by the russian federation in two years of full-scale invasion of Ukraine at $32 billion. In the 24 months since the invasion emissions have reached 175 million tons of carbon dioxide. This exceeds the annual emissions of a highly industrialized country like The Netherlands, putting 90 million new petrol cars on the road, or building 260 coal-fired power units of 200 MW each.
