Webinar - Low-Carbon Warfare: Fact or Fantasy?
07/06/2024
The defence sector is one of the largest consumers of hydrocarbons in the world. The Military Emissions Gap project estimates that the world’s militaries and the industries that support that produce around 5.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To stave off catastrophic climate breakdown, all sectors must decarbonise rapidly. As the global energy transition unfolds, the defence sector cannot afford to be left behind.
Loughborough University’s NETZMIL project, which is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) is working to assess the implications of the global energy transition for UK Defence, and especially what it means for the future character of military operations.
Join us from 12.15pm to 13.45pm on 12 June 2024, to learn more about the NETZMIL project and what the project team has discovered so far. There will also be opportunity to discuss the implications of the team’s findings and help to shape the next steps of the research programme.
