📽️The #NATO Public Forum (the official side event of the #NATOSummit) kicked off with NATO’s first High-Level Dialogue on #Climate and #Security. This cross-sectoral dialogue is set to take place annually. (2/x)

Rewatch it here ⬇️:

@NATO released its 1st #Climate Change & #Security Impact Assessment, which calls for a "fundamental transformation of NATO's approach to #defence and #security" & adaptation of Allied equipment, training, facilities, ops, technology & partnerships. (3/x)

#NATO compiled a Compendium of Best Practices, outlining examples of different #awareness, #adaptation & #mitigation measures in place across the Alliance. When it comes to operational benefits of #green military solutions, seeing is believing.👀 (4/x)

The new #StrategicConcept puts climate security front and centre🎯. It dedicates 2⃣ paragraphs to the impact of #climate change on #security (para. 19 & 46) and clearly recognises its implications for #NATO's ability to fulfil its 3⃣ core tasks. (5/x)

👩‍🔬 Technological innovation is key for a #greener defence. #NATO members are putting their money where their mouth is with the establishment of #NATOInnovationFund and #DIANA, which will favour innovative solutions that leverage #greentech. (6/x)

🎯As to #militaryemissions, #JensStoltenberg announced concrete targets for NATO as an organisation: at least 45% reduction by 2030, reaching #NetZero by 2050. #NATO also developed a #GHG emissions mapping methodology that will help help Allies measure their mil. emissions. (7/x)

🌱#NATO strives to involve younger voices in its decisions & activities.

My main message is that at a time when war rages at #NATO’s doorstep & collective defence coupled w/rising defence spending is at the centre of everyone’s attention, managing to get 30 capitals to agree to an ambitious programme on #climatesecurity deserves applause.
