The total climate cost of the first two years of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is estimated to be at least *** million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e). Roughly a third of these emissions are attributed to future reconstruction efforts, due to the large amounts of highly carbon-intensive concrete and steel needed to rebuild damaged civilian infrastructure. Meanwhile, emissions from direct warfare activities like fossil fuel consumption from troops and the use of ammunition caused roughly ** percent of total emissions between February 2022 and February 2024.
