When @RANDEurope research issues around water do they hire local knowledge and elders in anthropological sense, to inform work.

Yes, we do. Also important to do horizon scanning in technologies and other factors, like energy requirements to work the tech.

20 years ago, Turkey were threatening of damming the waters in the middle east.

Where may next water wars be?

Significant disturbance in Iran - due to lack of quality water in Northern part of Iran. Civil disturbance could erupt due to environmental factors that caused these.

With the growth of IOT, how safe are water reservoirs and critical water infrastructure safe?

Risk assessments will need to be done more frequently as cyber security effects become more common and complex.

#Military has a unique role with infrastructure and logistical capability that in future we'll see military have to build stronger connections with third sector and other organisations as potential climate related conflicts increase.

[NLC Sustainability Forum @SustainFor]

Big debate about water re conflict over water and increasing scarcity due to climate that affects deployments too.

Droughts, heatwaves exacerbate issues- global strategic trends document focuses on key challenges moving forward in geostrategic environment.

Budgets are shifting in non-favourable way re #defence spending. Are there corners being cut to ensure compliance with agenda?

Always opportunities to find solutions - big equipment & programmes take a long time 40/50 years, so focus on marginal areas through sustainable tech.

[NLC Sustainability Forum @SustainFor]

How have you found military decision makers and their focus on water/climate issues?

Climate has become undeniable & has trickled down.

@RANDEurope Research has broken down #climate change to more manageable chunks adding to what already exists within military understanding

Q should the amount of return of investments to be less or more?

A) Great to talk about sustainability but important to get returns. Body of research showing Esg funds have outperformed counterparts. Sustainability is great long term investment and dependent on risk appetite.

[NLC Sustainability Forum @SustainFor]

Get your questions in now if you have any on #sustainablefinance to ask @CarlottaGiacche

First question: how can we get a transparent and realistic way to avoid #greenwashing?

A) boils down to research and being open to hearing different influences
