According to a study, the climate damage caused by the war in Ukraine has reached new highs. In the past twelve months, CO₂ emissions have risen by 31% – a total of 230 million tons of CO₂ equivalents have been emitted in the past three years of war as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This corresponds to the annual emissions of Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia combined. This is the conclusion of the biannual study „Climate Damage Caused by Russia’s War in Ukraine“ by the non-profit international research group „Initiative on GHG Accounting of War.“
