About this report
A group of retired senior European military officers has urged NATO governments to treat investments in low-carbon, distributed energy as a core element of defence budgeting.
The strategic premise is linear: climate change magnifies exposure to coercion, price volatility, and vulnerability of centralized fossil-fuel systems; diversified, distributed and cleaner power reduces those risks and strengthens deterrence by ensuring continuity of operations when civilian grids are stressed or attacked. The public case for this shift was reported by The Guardian and is broadly consistent with an emerging policy architecture across the Euro-Atlantic area.
Key questions this report answers

- How does climate change magnify exposure to coercion, price volatility, and vulnerability of centralized fossil-fuel systems?
