To conceptually prepare the Federal Ministry of Defence and its area of responsibility, eight fields of action have been identified which contribute to achieving the aim of this Strategy:
- Geoinformation, early warning and foresight: Recognise impacts of climate change early, evaluate and draw relevant conclusions
- Technologies, research and development: Use and stimulate innovative technologies and research in order to adapt Bundeswehr capabilities
- Defence planning and capability development: Ensure long-term usability of Bundeswehr capabilities even under the influence of climate change
- Bundeswehr operations across the entire task spectrum: Integrate the impacts of climate change into the cycle of military planning and conduct of operations
- Enabling civilian and military personnel: Incorporate challenges posed by climate change into basic and advanced training, qualification and exercises
- Defence-relevant infrastructure: Ensure the functioning of defence-relevant infrastructure
- Military assistance in Germany and abroad: Continuously refine procedures and processes for the provision of subsidiary assistance by the Bundeswehr
- Cooperation and partnerships: Use synergies and potential for cooperation through collaboration with partners
In all fields of action, clear objectives have been defined. In a next step, these will be operationalised in internal action plans for further implementation. Accordingly, the Strategy on Defence and Climate Change lays the foundation for a future-oriented adaptation of the Federal Ministry of Defence and its area of responsibility to climate change.
