3. Introduction • "Scorched earth" has a variety of meanings in warfare. There is significant concern about the impact of military operations on the environment and the areas in which people live. That can suffer catastrophic harm as a result of the battle. • Military action has the potential to contaminate water supplies and tear upland. Chemical, gas and other pollutants that can enter the ground have long-term effects, including toxicity. • Environmental damage is an unavoidable outcome of war activities in any setting. Even in ancient times, the massing of soldiers "destroyed the crop and transformed the battlefield to muck," according to historical studies.

4. Environmental damage during and after Conflicts • During wars, weapons and military equipment leave environmental imprints. Land mines, cluster bombs, and other explosive remains of war can restrict access to agricultural land and damage soils and water supplies. • Large quantities of military scrap may be created or abandoned after significant conflicts. This can contain a variety of toxic compounds, poisoning soils, and groundwater, and exposing individuals who work on it to acute and chronic health concerns.

5. Relocation • Many wars result in human relocation. Camps for refugees and internally displaced persons can have significant environmental impacts. Especially if they are unplanned or lack basic facilities such as water, sanitation, and waste management. Their location is particularly crucial since camp occupants may be forced to consume local resources like firewood, putting local resources under strain. Internally displaced people may migrate to metropolitan areas as a result of war, causing population growth and straining local environmental services. Presentation title

6. Waste management Waste management is a basic issue in both displacement camps and conflict-affected metropolitan areas. During times of conflict, systems frequently fail, resulting in increased garbage dumping and burning, poor waste management, and a lack of waste segregation. During wars, waste management systems are simply one aspect of environmental governance that may fail.

7. Environmental rules and regulations Environmental rules and regulations may be disregarded on a local level. Local and national governments may lose their ability to monitor, analyze, and respond to environmental issues. New administrations may arise, with an approach to environmental management that differs significantly from that of the government. In recent years, there has been a rising tendency of using environmental data as a weapon during conflicts, resulting in greater politicization of environmental threats.

8. Refugee migrations • Large-scale refugee migrations can have transboundary environmental consequences. As communities in neighboring nations struggle to cope with the inflow of people and provide their basic requirements.

9. Summary While armed wars and military actions can result in or assist a variety of environmental harms, managing the environment during and after conflicts can help to build and preserve peace, as well as reshape society via long-term rehabilitation. Shared natural resources, as well as similar environmental hazards that go over human boundaries and borders. They might serve as a springboard for discussion between warring parties. Unpredictable energy supply during wars might drive a switch to solar power. While the destruction caused by hostilities can be a chance to rebuild greener or develop new domestic legislative frameworks to manage resources responsibly.
