Sustainable Military Mission Systems Can Boost Security

Sustainable energy for the military’s mission systems is the use of renewable and efficient sources of power to reduce the environmental impact and operational costs of military operations, as well as to enhance the security and performance of military forces. Climate change poses significant risks to the military assets, missions, and regions of interest of the armed forces, and requires them to adapt and respond to new threats and scenarios. At the same time, sustainable energy can offer operational advantages, such as increased energy independence, resilience, and efficiency, as well as reduced logistics and maintenance burdens.

The ongoing wars in Ukraine and the Middle East pose serious threats to the security and stability of NATO member states and their allies. These conflicts also expose the vulnerability of NATO’s military forces, which depend heavily on fossil fuels for their operations. Fossil fuels are not only a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, but also a potential target for adversaries who seek to disrupt NATO’s supply lines and energy infrastructure. Moreover, fossil fuels are subject to price fluctuations and geopolitical uncertainties, which can affect NATO’s budget and readiness. Therefore, NATO member states should explore sustainable energy solutions for their military’s mission system, such as renewable and efficient sources of power, smart energy management, and low-carbon fuels. These solutions can enhance NATO’s resilience, autonomy, and performance, while also reducing its environmental impact and operational costs. By investing in sustainable energy, NATO can demonstrate its commitment to the Paris Agreement and its leadership in tackling climate change, one of the defining challenges of our times.
