5.10: Climate Change
Keep the consequences of climate change in mind when preparing for future contingencies. Other Information:
As an Alliance, NATO does not have a formal role in regulating the greenhouse gas emissions that experts believe lead to global
warming. NATO could, however, be called upon to help cope with security challenges stemming from such consequences of climate
change as a melting polar ice cap or an increase in catastrophic storms and other natural disasters. The Alliance should keep
this possibility in mind when preparing for future contingencies.
