War and Ecocide
ÀÓ¿¬ÁØ °­³²Æ÷½ºÆ® Çлý±âÀÚ | ½ÂÀÎ 2022.08.06 14:43

Until now, governments and individuals have been working to handle climate change. However, they encounter a significant obstacle that undermines their goal: war. War is killing the environment more than we can imagine.

In the past, wars had detrimental effects on the environment. From 1964 to 1970, during the Vietnam War, 12 million gallons of defoliant were sprayed, destroying the Vietnamese ecosystem as well as harming the soldiers. According to statistics published by Vietnam, 40 percent of its agricultural land has become a wasteland, and more than half of the forests have disappeared. Also, in the Gulf War, Iraq bombed oil fields, spilling more than 1 million tons of oil into the Persian Gulf. The oil spill destroyed the coastal wetlands of the Persian Gulf and burned oil for two years, which released tremendous amounts of sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide. During the Kosovo War, NATO bombed Yugoslavian petrochemical plants, which resulted in the leak of 80,000 tons of oil and 250 tons of ammonia. 

As shown by the examples mentioned above, wars destroy the environment quickly on a large scale. This applies to the ongoing Ukrainian War. Russia is releasing toxic gases and polluting groundwater as it is intensively bombing industrial complexes, fuel storage, and fertilizer storage in Ukraine. Further, when the buildings collapse, the asbestos powder is released into the atmosphere, and forests are destroyed by this harmful air. What's more worrisome is the fact that Russia's attack on nuclear power plants could lead to a disaster. In sum, global efforts to reduce carbon emissions are being undermined as countries around the world are increasing the usage of fossil fuels to cope with the energy shortage and surging energy prices. 

These kinds of mass destruction of ecosystems are defined as "ecocide" by the 1972 U.N. Environmental Conference, which urged for international law against mass destruction of ecosystems that have not been legislated so far. Artificial wars are also massacring the environment in the era of climate change.
