Armed forces are massive polluters, but exactly how massive, no one knows, there's an elephant in the room: the world's armed forces.

Emissions accounting will come into focus in the first global stocktake - an assessment of how far behind countries are from the Paris climate goals — due to take place at the COP28 climate summit in the United Arab Emirates starting on Nov. 30. There are signs, however, that some militaries are preparing for changes in their reporting requirements in the coming years, while others are making strides to cut their climate impact.
