Ukraine war exacerbates global climate crisis, report shows.

The war in Ukraine has caused a climate disaster, with 120 million metric tons of planet-heating pollution attributed to the first year of the conflict, according to a new report. The emissions from the war are equivalent to the annual emissions of Belgium or those produced by nearly 27 million gas-powered cars on the road for a year. The biggest climate impact will come from the post-war reconstruction of damaged and destroyed buildings and infrastructure, which will require vast amounts of materials such as cement and concrete, producing high levels of carbon pollution.
