Unexploded Russian bombs contaminate Ukraine’s farmland while climate change worsens the damage
[]

Due to the danger of unexploded bombs, many Cambodian farmers avoid using tractors and other agricultural techniques that could increase agricultural production.
CLIMATE CHANGE COMPLICATIONSClimate hazards such as droughts, floods, and wildfires can exacerbate the impact of explosive remnants of war.
Floods and heavy rainfall can unearth landmines and other unexploded ordnance, sometimes displacing them into areas previously considered safe.
At the same time, the presence of explosive remnants in the environment can hamper responses to climate events.
Similarly, unexploded bombs from the Second World War have been detonated recently by wildfires in the North York Moors, UK.
