- 1Push to protect civilians from war's environmental damage▼Addressing the environmental consequences of conflict, towards the full protection of civilians.
The Conflict and Environment Observatory is highlighting the environmental consequences of armed conflict and calling for stronger measures toward full protection of civilians. The organisation argues that environmental harm in wars—from pollution to destruction of ecosystems—directly endangers civilian populations and deserves greater recognition in international humanitarian law and post-conflict recovery efforts.
