Sustainable Support Strategy: policy paper
" The Sustainable Support Strategy (SSS) is Defence Support’s (DefSp) initial response to the challenges climate change poses.
It sets out an ambition where sustainable Support Advantage unlocks the potential of the future force. One where we reduce the vulnerability of UK Defence to environmental risk and mitigate the environmental impact of Defence’s activities. These vulnerabilities and risks include, for example, how the changing weather and environment could affect our ability to deliver logistics support owing to rising temperatures or sea levels.
The Strategy outlines how we plan to reduce our emissions and increase the sustainability of our operations and how we can maximise the opportunities presented through novel approaches and technology.
Collectively, its output will maintain or improve our capability, effectiveness, and efficiency in line with the UK’s national ambitions"
