[SPECIAL PODCAST : A COMMITTED SECURITY AND DEFENCE SECTOR].

This week, we bring you a new perspective on the world of security and defence, with which you may be unfamiliar. Without security, there can be no development, and even less sustainable development.

Climate change is underway and mitigating its impacts must remain the top priority for all of us. In recent years, the defense industry has recognized that only sustainable solutions can help meet the growing challenges they face. Operating conditions have become tougher and tougher, but products and equipment must continue to work and to perform in challenging environments. The Russian war on Ukraine in particular, reminded us how serious the situation is as energy has become a scarce and extremely expensive commodity. Therefore, the whole industry is changing its way of thinking.

Today, aerospace designer and manufacturer Airbus shares his vision on how to make the defense industry move towards greater sustainability and how to turn this new challenge into an opportunity to change for better.

As a company Airbus is well aware that the world today faces two major threats: climate change and war. And as you develop products and equipment designed to help defend national security interests, you have also defined emission reduction targets that were validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) last year. You also made a Group-wide commitment to reduce industrial CO2 emissions "Scope 1 and 2" by 63% by 2030 (compared to 2015) - in line with the 1.5°C pathway.

As the armed forces' missions change in response to climate change, Airbus is adapting to the new missions assigned to the security forces, seeking to develop innovative equipment and boosting the use of sustainable aviation fuel. Johannes Muller, Head of Sustainability and Communications for Airbus Defence and Space, talks to Mélanie Bénard-Crozat, Editor in chief at Impact for the Future, about these and other issues.
