Intégration des enjeux climato-environnementaux par les forces armées étrangères

Que cela soit en termes d’anticipation de risques ou de menaces à la sécurité nationale, de vulnérabilité des infrastructures militaires, d’adaptation des équipements et des entraînements aux effets de l’augmentation de la température moyenne ou à des conditions extrêmes (Arctique), il est évident que les impacts du changement climatique posent de nombreux défis au maintien et à la mise en œuvre de l’effet militaire des forces armées.

Implications of Climate Change in the South Pacific by 2030 – SPDMM

The South Pacific region covers the whole zone of the Pacific Ocean that is located south of the Equator, and comprises hundreds of islands. The South Pacific region will continue to be one of the world’s areas that will be most affected by the impacts of climate change. As affirmed by leaders at the 2018 Pacific Islands Forum, in the Boe Declaration, “climate change presents the single greatest threat to the livelihood, security and wellbeing of Pacific people” (Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat, 2018). Common climate challenges but also important disparities and strong historical and cultural links between countries of the region have fostered regional cooperation to build resilience to disasters and climate change for decades.
