Details
Crisis Response in a Changing Climate represents the final report of a study commissioned by the Development, Concepts and Doctrine Centre (DCDC) within the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) to inform development of the MOD’s Climate Change and Sustainability (CC&S) strategy.
This study builds on a phase one piece of work delivered by the Global Strategic Partnership (GSP) in early 2020, which designed a conceptual framework to systematically examine implications of climate change for defence.
In this second phase, the GSP team has applied the conceptual framework to a specific area of interest, namely the impact on defence logistics in the context of Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) and Military Aid to the Civil Authorities (MACA) operations.
Who should read this publication
This report will be relevant for the MOD, other government departments, and for overseas allies and partners with an interest in understanding the impact of climate change on defence logistics in the context of crisis response and the ways in which the resilience of defence logistics can be strengthened in anticipation of climate-related challenges.
