Pa bajeti iliyonse yankhondo ya € 10.000, matani 1,3 a CO2e amatulutsidwa

ndi Martin Auer

Malinga ndi kuyerekezera kwa Conflict and Environment Observatory, zotulutsa zankhondo zapachaka za EU (kuyambira 2019) ndi matani 24,83 miliyoni a CO2e.1Ndalama zankhondo za EU zinali EUR 2019 biliyoni mu 186, zomwe ndi 1,4% ya ndalama zonse za EU (GDP)2.

Kotero EUR 10.000 ya ndalama zankhondo ku Ulaya zimapanga matani 1,3 a CO2e. 

Ngati Austria idula ndalama zake zankhondo, monga Nehammer adafunira mu Marichi3kufika pa 1% ya GDP, mwachitsanzo kuchokera ku EUR 2,7 kufika pa 4,4 biliyoni, izi zikutanthauza kuwonjezeka kwa mpweya wa asilikali wa matani 226.100. Kumeneko kungakhale kuwonjezeka kwa mpweya wonse wa ku Austria (2021: 78,4 miliyoni t CO2e4) ndi 0,3%. Koma zikutanthauzanso kuti EUR 1,7 biliyoni ikusowa pazifukwa zina monga maphunziro, zaumoyo kapena penshoni. 

Koma sikuti zimangokhala zotulutsa zankhondo zaku Austria. Dziko losalowerera ndale ngati Austria liyenera kuthana ndi zomwe zikuchitika padziko lonse lapansi popereka zida ndikupereka chitsanzo.

Stuart Parkinson wa Scientists for Global Responsibility akuyerekeza gawo la asitikali pakutulutsa mpweya wowonjezera kutentha padziko lonse lapansi pa 5%, kukwera mpaka 6% mzaka zankhondo zazikulu.6.Izi zokha zikusonyeza mmene kuchotsa zida zapadziko lonse kuliri kofunika pa zamoyo zosatha padziko lapansi. Chifukwa chakuti kuwonjezera pa mpweya umene umawononga nyengo, asilikali amawononga zinthu zambiri za anthu ndi zinthu zimene zikusowa kuti zithandize pa ntchito yomanga, ndipo pakakhala nkhondo zimabweretsa imfa, kuwononga ndi kuwononga chilengedwe nthawi yomweyo. Ndipo pali mantha kuti zomwe zikuchitika pano pakukweza zisokoneza kwambiri zoyesayesa zochepetsera mpweya wapadziko lonse lapansi.
