In a speech on the 28 September 2020, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called for the Alliance to take further action to address the threat of climate change. Speaking to students from 10 universities across the Alliance, he said: “NATO’s core task is to keep us all safe. Climate change is making the world more unsafe. So to fulfil our main responsibility, NATO must help to curb climate change.”
Frans Hondmann, General Manager at ARMOR B.V. said of the collaboration: “Congratulations Office Centre Nuth and Nato Joint Command on this important collaboration. Together you take an important step towards circular thinking and acting.”
