Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 13 of his Department’s Climate Change and Sustainability Strategic Approach published on 30 March 2021, what steps he has taken to implement a climate lens into force development processes.

Climate change is routinely considered throughout our force development process, from horizon scanning and wargaming, through to setting the requirements for major programmes. This ensures that we can anticipate and adapt to the challenges, and requirements, of a changing climate.
