NATO in the era of renewable energy sources cannot remain an alliance working on fossil fuel.
This was stated by the Secretary General of the organization Jens Stoltenberg.
“Climate change is important for our safety, so it is important for NATO, and therefore we have raised a climate change in the agenda of the alliance is much higher over the past couple of years. It is not enough just to reason that this is a problem, we are trying to do something about it with this “,” said Stoltenberg during the organized American NGO “German Marshall Foundation of the United States“ Transatlantic Conference on the Climat and Security ”.
The Secretary General listed the areas in which NATO is working in connection with climatic changes.
In his opinion, it is necessary to reduce emissions of military equipment, adapt to the ongoing climatic transformations and not create new vulnerable places. The Secretary General cited an example of dependence on Russian gas and rare earth minerals from China.
