Heating Up: Climate Change and Global Security
summary
Climate change already drives conflict through water shortages, migration and failing livelihoods and militaries both respond to and contribute to the problem: the US military’s carbon footprint exceeds that of over 100 countries, the US DoD spends about $1.5 billion on green R&D, and Canada reports a ~30% emissions cut since 2005 after a CAD 250 million investment. Proposals include a NATO centre of excellence on climate and security, climate‑proofing infrastructure (Norfolk flooding cited) and aiming for Paris‑proof force decarbonization.
