Sustainable defence: eco-friendly innovation and adaptation in the military

As environmental concerns increasingly take center stage on global agendas, every industry, including defense, must reflect and innovate. Traditionally characterized by high resource consumption and environmental impact, military operations now stand at a pivotal moment, seeking to balance operational efficiency with environmental responsibility. However, this is not a unilateral journey. As environmental degradation and climate change present new security challenges, the defense sector must also act as a responder, addressing and adapting to these emerging threats. This panel aims to explore this dual role, highlighting innovative sustainable practices within the military and emphasizing the sector’s evolving environmental duties.

From understanding the environmental implications of military activities to exploring innovations that pave the way for a greener defense future, our experts will gain a comprehensive understanding of sustainable defense. They will also recognize the multifaceted role of defense sectors as both environmental actors and responders, empowering them to advocate for and facilitate eco-friendly transformations within defense.
