世界各地的军队是碳排放的主要来源，但人们对其碳足迹知之甚少。有关军事资源使用和环境破坏的可靠数据变化很大。研究人员依赖于军事透明度、军事行动的背景和更广泛的排放报告。虽然关于全球军队及其碳足迹的研究开始出现，但关注战时排放的工作却较少。我们通过关注美军在巴格达五年期间（2003-2008）使用混凝土“防爆墙”的情况，研究了现代晚期战争中隐藏的碳排放的一小部分。本研究使用生命周期评估 (LCA) 来研究世界上最大的军事碳足迹之一的混凝土，混凝土是后现代城市反叛乱中的基础设施武器。我们超越了关于气候安全和“绿化”的主流话语，提出了首批揭露战争造成的直接和间接军事排放的研究之一。
Militaries around the world are a major source of carbon emissions, yet very little is known about their carbon footprint. Reliable data around military resource use and environmental damage is highly variable. Researchers are dependent upon military transparency, the context of military operations, and broader emissions reporting. While studies are beginning to emerge on global militaries and their carbon footprints, less work has focused on wartime emissions. We examine one sliver of the hidden carbon emissions of late‐modern warfare by focusing on the use of concrete “blast walls” by US forces in Baghdad over a five‐year period (2003–2008). This study uses a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to study one of the world's largest military carbon footprints of concrete, an infrastructural weapon in late‐modern urban counterinsurgencies. Moving beyond dominant discourses on climate‐security and “greening”, we present one of the first studies to expose direct and indirect military emissions resulting from combat.
