The critical work of our time is nature's restoration, yet over $2 trillion is spent annually on military operations and armaments. This global spending fuels wars, destroys cities and critical ecosystems, emits millions of tons of greenhouse gases, pollutes land and water, and exacerbates the climate crisis, increasing vulnerability to catastrophic floods, droughts, and diseases.

Military alliances are not the answer; the real battle is saving life on our planet, which requires us to stop destroying it. This vital discussion features Kati Juva (Co-President, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War) and Tamara Lorincz (environmental advocate, Canadian Voice of Women for Peace).
