Background

How Does War Damage The Environment?

The Conflict and Environment Observatory (CEOBS) is a UK charity challenging the idea of the environment as a 'silent victim' of warfare. Their overarching aims are to document and address environmental warfare and, subsequently, assist its victims.

The linked document provides summaries of the impact of militarism on the environment, categorised by both region and topic.

Also, take a look at Bhopal: Beyond Genocide—a documentary originally supposed to look at illegal settlements surrounding the pesticide plant (ironically, the idea of the Chief Minister) but that ultimately covered the story of Bhopal in the first 10 months after the disaster, illustrating the horrors and frustrations of life for victims. The documentary won a Golden Lotus award despite the attempts to censor it.
