Defence organisations will not be shielded from the physical impacts of climate change, or the wider transitions currently seen across energy and society as the world responds to this issue. In an increasingly unstable world, protecting the peace and security of the UK is as critical it has ever been, and to remain effective it must ensure its people, bases and equipment are resilient to these impacts. Contributing to the national security of the United Kingdom is a hugely important and purpose driven career, however, many school and university leavers are currently choosing their future careers based on a motivation to address the climate emergency. This podcast explores how emerging climate tech and innovation is being harnessed within defence's aviation sector to improve both the UK's ability to protect its security, whilst also improving its own sustainability credentials in parallel. It hopes to inspire talented young professionals by the positive action being taken by defence organisations and hopefully allow them to consider a career in this field, addressing both of these prominent issues.
