As NATO prepares for future wars, climate change is already disrupting military bases, damaging equipment, changing training, and testing NATO's resilience. DW spoke to the former US intelligence
In my opinion, before delving into the details of the subject, you need to define exactly what you mean by a military alliance—such as NATO.
The military provides support in various disaster situations, including forest fires, earthquakes, floods, and—if necessary and as a last resort—the containment of infectious diseases.
However, each NATO member may have its own priorities depending on risk factors. Being prepared for all risk factors is costly and exhausting for military personnel.
Isn't it amazing how many jump to the conclusion this is about NATO going climate neutral?
It's a sign of our times. Blessed are those who are capable to listen before they comment...
Anyone really watched the video? It's not about wind-turbine-tanks and solar-machineguns. It's about how the equipment and troops keep up with the new and coming conditions.
it's a military defence organistion.
what are we going to tell russia when they invade, "can you only wait until we're carbon neutral please?".
what a joke.
Cuz the oil and gas corporations say so. And the ai companies, and the weapons manufacturers, and the US govt. Etc.
Change won't happen until greed and capitalism is actively dismissed, and the system of incentive structures to ignore or exacerbate climate change are dismantled
At the end of the day they all are the same, who don’t give a F about climate change and they except us common folk to cut down on everything while they be travelling via their luxurious private jets all around the world, in order to address climate change? What a joke.
