Green Procurement & Supply-Chain Decarbonisation
Green procurement and supply-chain decarbonisation are increasingly being treated within NATO and the European Union as enabling conditions for readiness, resilience, and industrial continuity rather than as peripheral environmental initiatives. This analysis examines how procurement rules, energy transition constraints, and defence-industrial policy intersect with force generation, reinforcement planning, and sustainment at scale. It traces the strategic anchoring of this priority in NATO resilience and energy security frameworks and in EU climate-security and defence-industrial instruments, then evaluates the operational implications across mission sets, theatres, logistics corridors, and industrial value chains. Particular attention is given to life-cycle energy demand, fuel supply security, supplier qualification, data governance, and structural bottlenecks that may affect the credibility of deterrence and the endurance of high-intensity operations over the coming decade.
