What is the relationship between climate science and resilience in the context of defence operations? In this first episode of The Resilience Brief (TRB) podcast, hosts Lt. Col. Ali Beard and Dr Sarah Ashbridge are joined by guests who can help us to bring together different strands of research to help us to navigate this very question.
To kick-start the series, the TRB hosts are joined by two speakers with the skills and experience to help us make sense of how the environment informs defence operations, what we can learn from our recent past, and the risks that might inform the future of warfighting.
General (Ret.) Tom Middendorp draws upon on 38 years of military experience, including his service as the Chief of Defence of the Armed Forces of the Netherlands, and shares insights from his current role as Chair of the International Military Council for Climate and Security (IMCCS).
Our hosts also receive challenge from Professor Justin Bronk, who works as the Senior Research Fellow for Airpower and Technology at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI).  Justin takes a classic think tank position by signposting towards existing areas of alignment and synergy with traditional warfighting focuses, whilst reminding us to take a cautious approach to emerging areas of research and technological development.
Join us for this exciting first episode which will set the scene for the remainder of the series.

Beschreibung

The threat of climate change to long-term, global security is well publicised. However, current political narratives, financial constraints and short-term threats have combined to leave sustainability initiatives and the area of climate intelligence an unfunded priority within NATO. At the same time, many climate change and sustainability practitioners have struggled to communicate a comprehendible narrative that suits a defence client. In short, prioritisation of traditional battlefield requirements threatens long-term resilience within our Armed Forces.
In the first series of The Resilience Brief podcast, we explore different facets of operational resilience for NATO armed forces. Our hosts, hosts Dr Sarah Ashbridge (RUSI/CCIP) and Lieutenant Colonel Alistair Beard (British Army) will navigate topics such as the future operating world, interoperability, and technologies, whilst also reflecting on domain specific requirements. 23 leading experts and practitioners will share their insights as to what holds strategic value for the Alliance, and the actions that can help us to improve resilience today.
This podcast has been enabled thanks to kind sponsorship of Frazer-Nash Consultancy and the NATO Climate Change and Security Centre of Excellence (NATO CCASCOE).
This project was delivered by Dr Sarah Ashbridge of S A Consultancy (Yorkshire) Ltd) with production services provided by Two Jacks Communications Ltd.
