The defence industry is facing a crucial turning point in the pursuit of sustainability, one which has military resilience and operational freedom at its heart.
While familiar activities such as reporting and reducing carbon emissions, lowering energy consumption and transitioning to renewable energy all remain key steps in the fight against climate change, demand is increasing for the adoption of a more comprehensive approach when addressing the sustainability challenge, one which has military resilience and operational freedom at its heart.
This report explores the impacts that a warming planet has for the defence and security industry and considers how we can build climate resilience. It also calls for the defence and security industry to collaborate on efforts to develop a baseline understanding of sector sustainability and commit to holistic climate related risk assessment, while setting out a framework for policy-based change and calling for investment to close the sustainability skills gap.
We hope you find it an informative and stimulating read.
