This report investigates the problem of the underreporting of military greenhouse gas emissions. Using data from the United Nations and national government reports, it highlights systematic problems which lead to considerable underestimates (if figures are reported at all). The report explains the reasons for the underreporting and makes recommendations on how to rectify it.
