The Challenge:

The conference seeks to analyse and address solutions to adapt and mitigate operational infrastructure impacts in deployed environments, focused on creating a low carbon, self-sustained Defence capability, providing operational freedoms and prolonged endurance enabled by sustainable design principles.

The Vision:

“To be a deployable force that can operate in extreme climate change environments, while showing sustainable leadership and best practise on a global stage.”

Solution Focus:

The conference will review alternative energy sources and distribution, innovative materials and disruptive technologies/approaches focused on providing protection, sanitation, improve health and mental wellbeing, facilitate both technical and domestic accommodation while embodying Defence social values to support and protect its most important asset, its people.

Who should attend:

Why attend:
