The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba, Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, warned of the danger to human existence due to the adverse effects of natural phenomena, while the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) invents other threats.
“Meanwhile, NATO invents other threats to increase its exorbitant military expenditures and sustain polluting military industries, wasting resources that are urgently needed for climate financing,” noted the Cuban Foreign Minister on the social network X.
The government of Cuba, through its Foreign Ministry, has reiterated the denunciation of the excessive priority granted by the Western powers that are members of NATO over the environmental commitment, agreed upon in United Nations forums.
The war alliance increases its military spending every year, formalizing contracts for the acquisition of increasingly lethal weapons that only benefits its arms industry.
The head of Cuban diplomacy recently warned on his own social network that the military carbon footprint of the transatlantic organization went from 196 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (C02) in 2021 to 226 million in 2023.
These figures exceed the greenhouse gas emissions of 80% of the countries in the world, said Rodríguez Parrilla.
