The Effects of Climate Change on the Military

This volume explores the impact of climate change on national security and military strategies, providing an in-depth analysis of natural disaster control and the (increasing) role of the armed forces in it worldwide. It delves into the impact of weather on military operations, as changes in weather patterns and extreme events can fundamentally disrupt the plans of military leaders.
The declared purpose of writing this book is to enable the planners of the ambitious Defence and Military Development Programme underway in our country to rely on the information gathered and consider the challenges posed by a changing climate in their decisions, whether related to human resources, military technology development, procurement, training, education, or preparation.
This English edition builds upon the Hungarian original, introducing new features that present the latest opinions, positions and events.
