Strategy on Defence and Climate Change
Extract from Summary:
Climate change as a global challenge affects our security and defence policy and therefore directly impacts the Federal Ministry of Defence’s area of responsibility including the German Federal Forces (Bundeswehr).
The Strategy on Defence and Climate Change aims to conceptually prepare the Federal Ministry of Defence and its area of responsibility for the impacts of climate change and to initiate appropriate measures which ensure full and continued operational readiness for future mission accomplishment. To this end, eight fields of action have been identified which contribute to achieving the aim of this Strategy
In all fields of action, clear objectives have been defined. In a next step, these will be operationalised ininternal action plans for further implementation. Accordingly, the Strategy on Defence and ClimateChange lays the foundation for a future-oriented adaptation of the Federal Ministry of Defence and itsarea of responsibility to climate change.
