This issue of Ecología Política examines how armies, militarized landscapes, and the arms industry generate ecological destruction, reinforce extractivist dynamics, and deepen inequalities, while their climatic and environmental impacts largely remain invisible. Drawing on the concept of necropolitics, the articles explore who—and which territories—are deemed expendable in the name of security, development, or even sustainability. Through historical and contemporary case studies, the dossier addresses the environmental footprint of militarism, green militarism, military and digital technologies, as well as community and feminist resistances to the militarization of life, contributing to the imagination of ecologies of hope.
