COP31 chief urges treating climate with defense-level urgency
Original: Climate needs same urgency as defense spending, COP31 chief says
The COP31 president has called on governments to treat climate change with the same urgency and funding priority they give to national defense, arguing security and climate threats now demand comparable mobilization of resources. The comments add to pressure on wealthy countries to scale up climate finance and emissions cuts ahead of the COP31 summit.
Why now: Rising global defense budgets and ongoing climate-finance disputes make the comparison contentious as COP31 approaches.
