本系統的レビューは、軍事活動が世界の温室効果ガス排出の5.5%を占めるにもかかわらず、現在の報告では実排出の1割未満しかカバーされていないことを明らかにした。紛争の全フェーズ（前・最中・後）にわたる環境影響を統合し、気候会計・ガバナンスの構造的欠陥を特定。軍事排出の義務的・透明な報告枠組みの緊急かつ不可欠な必要性を強調する。
English
This systematic review synthesizes 263 studies and 36 reports to show that military operations contribute an estimated 5.5% of global GHG emissions, yet current UNFCCC reporting covers less than one-tenth due to policy gaps. It assesses environmental impacts across pre-conflict, active conflict, and post-conflict phases, revealing cumulative effects on emissions, water, land, and ecosystems. The study calls for mandatory, standardized military emission reporting as essential for achieving Paris Agreement targets.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では自衛隊の排出が議論されることは少ないが、SSBJやTCFDに基づく気候開示の動きが進む中、軍事セクターの排出報告の欠如は重要な政策課題となり得る。本論文は、グローバルな気候会計の盲点を指摘し、日本政府や防衛関連企業に対する開示圧力の高まりを示唆する。
In the global GX context
This paper exposes a critical blind spot in global climate disclosure: military emissions are largely invisible in existing frameworks like TCFD/ISSB. With growing pressure for mandatory Scope 1-3 reporting, this review provides evidence that military activity—from manufacturing to combat—generates significant unreported emissions. It argues that integrating military accountability into climate governance is both feasible and essential, offering a roadmap for policymakers and standard-setters.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a comprehensive evidence base on military emission sources and reporting gaps, useful for carbon accounting and climate policy research.
🏢実務担当者:Defense contractors and logistics firms should anticipate increased scrutiny on supply chain emissions related to military activity.
🏛政策担当者:Highlights the urgent need to include military emissions in national GHG inventories and international climate agreements.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Military activity is a current blind spot in global climate policy. This systematic review synthesises evidence from 263 studies and 36 reports published between 2014 and 2025. Following PRISMA framework, the review assesses the environmental impacts across pre-conflict, active conflict, and post-conflict, with a focus on four interconnected domains namely greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, water systems, agricultural land and food security, and natural ecosystems. This study finds that military operations contribute an estimated 5.5% of total global greenhouse gas emissions, a carbon footprint that would make the world's militaries collectively the fourth-largest emitter if counted as a nation. Yet, current reporting to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change covers less than one-tenth of actual emissions due to current policies and voluntary disclosure. The review identifies extensive hidden emissions from pre-conflict mobilisation and weapons manufacturing to active combat, supply chains, refugee displacement, and post-conflict reconstruction. These processes generate cumulative and cascading effects that exacerbate climate change, degrade water and soil systems, disrupt ecosystems, and undermine food security. These underreported emissions intensify climate change as well as undermines global efforts towards the Paris Agreement targets. By integrating fragmented evidence across environmental domains and conflict phases, this review advances understanding of the conflict-climate nexus and identifies structural gaps in existing climate accounting and governance frameworks. The study findings highlight an urgent need for mandatory, transparent, and standardised military emission reporting and evaluation frameworks. Incorporating military accountability into global climate policy is both feasible and essential to safeguard the planets future. Without it, any vision for a sustainable and peaceful climate future remains incomplete.
