117 formulating and implementing efforts to address climate change and in relation to preparing national communications, and encourage the involvement and participation of representatives of all stakeholders and major groups in the climate change negotiation process; and 7. Promote and facilitate the exchange of information and materials and the sharing of experience and good practices Importantly, States should invest in training and developing the current student generation in skills and talents which will aid in the transition to a green economy. xi. Include the Military in Carbon Accounting Each State must also consider all fuel consumption and carbon emissions resulting from their military operations and supply chains when developing their NDC. For example, a recent study showed that the US military consumes more liquid fuels and emits more CO2e (carbon-dioxide equivalent) than most countries, largely due to its global logistical supply chains.525 It is likely that other military establishments worldwide also consume and emit similar levels in their operations and supply chains. Because of the size, scale, and spread of global military operations, their impact on climate change must also be considered and included in carbon accounting. xii. Strengthen Shared Efforts to Conserve and Accelerate the Restoration of Forests and Other Terrestrial Ecosystems Recognizing the role of forests and other terrestrial ecosystems as carbon sinks, the Commission endorses the recommendation that States urgently commence or continue the transition to sustainable land-use, including “halting and reversing forest loss and land degradation by 2030.”526 525 Oliver Belcher, Patrick Bigger, Ben Neimark, & Cara Kennelly, Hidden Carbon Costs of the ‘Everywhere War’: Logistics, Geopolitical Ecology and the Carbon Boot-print of the US military, 45 Trans.
