EUROMIL is organizing an online panel discussion on the topic of Climate Change and the Role of the Military, in association with the Global Military Advisory Council on Climate Change (GMACCC). The discussion will aim to shed light on the existing EU tools and policies that promote sustainability in the military, while scrutinizing what are the necessary next steps. To provide an example, militaries are huge emitters and by making changes on how they are operating, their environmental footprint could be reduced, while climate change has severe effects on the soldiers’ health and capacity during missions and operations. Hence, more cooperation, information exchange and transparency between governments are necessary to reduce militaries’ carbon emissions, improve their efficacy and protect soldiers’ health.
