Greening DefenceAuthor: Royal United Services Institute
The Greening Defence podcast investigates the ways in which the UK defence sector is working to respond to the challenges and evolving security risks from the effects of climate change. In collaboration with our partners at the Conflict and Environment Observatory, this RUSI podcast brings together key figures from across defence, industry and academia to discuss how the various military sectors are approaching the issue, how policy is evolving, whether technology might hold the answer, and what cultural changes are required to ensure success. While some changes will be dramatic, others will be about streamlining and improving business-as-usual to ensure our forces are prepared for every eventuality and to ensure that they are able to operate on a sustainable footing into the future. Greening Defence seeks to cut through the buzz words and rhetoric around climate change to have a meaningful, constructive conversation about the difficulties faced, but also the amazing potential for UK Defence on a global scale. The views or statements expressed by guests are their own and their appearance on the podcast does not imply an endorsement of them or any entity they represent.

Episode 8: Inconvenience or Opportunity? Summarising Greening Defence
Episode 8
Thursday, 17 November, 2022
As the Greening Defence podcast concludes, the hosts come together to reflect on how the conversation about climate change has evolved within UK defence, where there is more work to be done, and what defence might need to do to make sure it is resilient for a climate changed future. Across the first seven episodes, 11 guests joined us to help navigate the topics of climate change, sustainability, culture and technology, and to discuss how the single services are choosing to focus their efforts. In this final episode, hosts Lieutenant Colonel Alistair Beard, Dr Sarah Ashbridge, Doug Weir and Linsey Cottrell reflect on the conversations held and provide their own assessment of defence's progress and future potential.
