NATO Climate Change and Security Centre of Excellence (CCASCOE)

The CCASCOE supports the efforts of NATO Allies and partners to adapt to the implications of climate change on their security and mitigate their own impact on climate change while strengthening operational effectiveness.

The CCASCOE works with governmental and non-governmental organizations, think tanks, academia and industry to stimulate innovative solutions, encourage closer collaboration among NATO Allies and partners and across different types of organizations, gather and streamline knowledge and expertise in one dedicated hub, and increase the awareness of decision-makers and the broader public on the pressing need of taking concrete actions to preserve Allied security.

CCASCOE’s efforts support the implementation of the NATO Climate Change and Security Action Plan and contribute to NATO’s overall military readiness, deterrence and defence posture. To achieve this, we work on four fronts:

• Increasing Allied awareness of the security implications of climate change
• Adapting to the impact of climate change across NATO and beyond
• Mitigating NATO’s impact on climate change while preserving and strengthening our military effectiveness and interoperability
• Conducting outreach and strengthening cooperation with a wide range of stakeholders.
