Summary:

At a time when ecological issues are gaining in importance in public debate, and climate change is set to have a lasting impact on global equilibrium, this book looks at how environmental and climate issues are being taken into account in a sector that has so far received little attention in the literature on the subject: the defense sector. Having taken the measure of the disastrous long-term influence of modern warfare on the health of populations, the environment and the climate, a number of state and international organizations now wish to adapt their legal rules and their defense and security negotiations to take account of new ecological concerns. In this critical context of risk anticipation, the military occupies a central role and legitimately intervenes as an expert. This book shows how environmental and climatic issues have been problematized within the defense sector, based on the cases of France and the United States.
