This is the first time that German climate scientists, intelligence community and military strategists have come together to assess the risks climate presents – for German and European national security, and globale stability.
Scientists, intelligence experts, and military strategists all agree: the climate crisis constitutes an existential security threat, as outlined in a new report. Tackling the climate crisis is innately in Germany’s security interests
“The Foreign Intelligence Service of Germany (BND) sees the consequences of climate change such as destabilization and migration as one of the five major external threats to our country, alongside an aggressively expansive Russia, China’s global political ambitions, increasing cyber dangers and the continued virulent international terrorism“ says BND President Bruno Kahl (head of German intelligence service)
