“…Weapon development is prevalent in various human societies, and there is a connection between armed conflicts and climate change (Bildirici, 2017a). Chemicals used to create weapons that release poisonous compounds are frequently used by soldiers in routine actions (Trivedi et al, 2004). Empirical studies typically focus on the relationship between militarization and income, investment, and debt, as evidenced by several researchers (Azam, 2020;DeRouen, 1994;Pieroni, 2009 Khan et al, 2021).…”

This study assesses the impact of militarization, industrialization, technological innovation, and energy consumption on CO2 emissions in NATO countries, divided into "traditional" (Group 1) and "new member" states (Group 2), using data from 1985 to 2019. It identifies heterogeneity in effects and dependencies between the groups. Employing Pedroni and Kao panel cointegration tests, a long-term equilibrium relationship among the variables is confirmed. The analysis, using panel ARDL and GMM methods, reveals distinct outcomes for each group. In Group 1, military spending and energy consumption significantly increase CO2 emissions, while industrialization and technological innovation reduce them. Conversely, in Group 2, technological innovation and energy consumption raise emissions, whereas military spending and industrialization decrease them. The findings suggest Group 1 should strategize military expenditure and energy consumption to cut emissions, whereas Group 2 should focus on eco-friendly technology and efficient energy use to achieve environmental sustainability.

“…Military activities in peacetime also have unimaginable impacts on environmental changes. Firstly, the development of various chemical weapons has adverse effects on the natural environment (Trivedi et al, 2004). Moreover, due to the secrecy surrounding military activities, the environmental degradation caused by such activities is not easily publicly reported, and there are also policy and institutional barriers for supervision and administration (Gould, 2007).…”

In the complex international society, the economic development and defense construction of BRICS countries have attracted increasing attention. This article incorporates technological innovation, militarization, and climate change into a unified analytical framework to assess the potential impact of technological progress and defense military expenditure on the environment in BRICS countries. Based on CSD tests, unit root tests, and cointegration tests, this study constructs a CS-ARDL model to examine the long-term and short-term relationships among various variables from 1990 to 2021. The results show that technological innovation, military expenditure, and economic growth can significantly increase ecological footprint in the long run, while in the short term, technological innovation and economic growth significantly increase ecological footprint, and the impact of military expenditure is not significant. It is suggested that BRICS countries should focus on supporting low-carbon technology policies and research and development investment, while also considering the use of cutting-edge technology to improve military intelligence capabilities in order to reduce the negative impact of technological innovation and military activities on the environment.

“…Technologies for treating VOC in exhausted gas have been developed (Peishi et al, 2004;Stehlik et al, 2004), and their engineering and economic performance have been evaluated (Mulholland and Dyer, 1999). Technological tests on alternative solvents and their hazard assessment have been implemented (Sikdar and El-Halwagi, 2000;Trivedi et al, 2004). The impacts of chlorinated organic solvents in metal cleaning processes have also been analyzed by LCA (Hellweg et al, 2005;Kikuchi and Hirao, 2008b) and by integrated LCA and RA Hirao, 2008a, 2010).…”
