Beschreibung

"Climate Change on the Battlefield examines how climate change is reshaping modern military operations, and the role of international militaries in responding to the effects of the climate crisis. The book takes an international case study approach, looking at specific geographies such as Afghanistan and the Arctic, as well as types of military operations, including firefighting and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief missions. The book also explores in detail how different countries from across every continent, and international institutions, are responding to these threats while also critically assessing their emissions and contributions to the climate crisis"-- Provided by publisher.
