seNATO has been addressing environmental challenges for over half a century.
In March 2021, NATO Foreign Ministers endorsed NATO’s Climate Change and Security Agenda.
It provides a 360-degree approach and includes measures to increase both NATO’s and Allies’ awareness of the impact of climate change on security, along with developing clear adaptation and mitigation measures, while ensuring the safety of military personnel and operational and cost ; The recently released ‘NATO Greenhouse Gases Emission Mapping and Analytical Methodology’ provides further guidelines on estimating the greenhouse gas emissions from the various civilian and military structures in the NATO Enterprise.
In response to these challenges, NATO AVT established an exploratory team ‘Climate Change: Mitigation and Impact on NATO Platforms’ in Fall 2023 to assess climate change impacts on military platforms along with technologies for GHG emissions reduction and energy efficiency improvement within member ; ET-227 conducted an on-line survey to solicit feedback from the greater NATO community on climate change impact and gauge interest in further activities under AVT.
One result of the survey was the strong interest in developing better understanding of life cycle assessment of sustainable technologies to aid in climate change mitigation activities
The main objectives of the Research Specialists' Meeting are:
To exchange information and discuss various aspects related to life cycle analysis (LCA) of conventional and sustainable technology for military platforms in order to identify gaps and provide recommendations for further work
