Concerns have grown recently that climate action is being sidelined as Europe beefs up defense and the US retreats from allies and its green commitments. But defense departments have already underscored that a warming planet poses major national security challenges, and militaries need to adapt to respond to these evolving threats.<\/p>\n<p>In a September report, the UK&#8217;s Ministry of Defense said humanity&#8217;s impact on climate and the environment &#8221;continues to have far-reaching consequences, putting significant pressure on societies and economies and threatening the very existence of some states.&#8221; Militaries are increasingly being called in following floods, storms and wildfires, stretching the capacity of some forces, said Sikorsky, whose organization has tracked more than 500 such emergency responses across the world since 2022. There have also been efforts to &#8221;weaponize&#8221; climate disasters, she said.<\/p>\n<p>Militaries are not required to report their greenhouse gas emissions, so their direct contribution to global warming is not precisely known. But a 2024 report by the European Union estimated the carbon &#8221;bootprint&#8221; of the world&#8217;s armies could be 5.5 percent of global emissions. The Pentagon alone produced more emissions than nations like Portugal or Denmark, the &#8221;Greening the Armies&#8221; report said.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lemonde.fr\/en\/international\/article\/2025\/04\/22\/global-warming-is-a-security-threat-and-armies-must-adapt-experts-warn_6740491_4.html\">Le Monde<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-692\/\">Global warming is a security threat and armies must adapt, experts warn<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[11259,575,521,904],"class_list":["post-139186","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-army","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-security","tag-warming"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139186"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139186\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139186"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
