In the fourth episode of What's New in New Defence, we examine how climate change and energy security are reshaping Europe's defence and resilience planning. Research Professor Paula Kivimaa from the Finnish Environment Institute explains how renewable energy transition strengthens strategic autonomy and highlights lessons from Ukraine on the resilience of decentralized electricity systems.

Director General Petteri Taalas from the Finnish Meteorological Institute introduces impact-based forecasting and explains how dual-use meteorological services support both civilian and defence operations. The discussions reveal why climate adaptation, energy independence and technological sovereignty must integrate with defence strategy to navigate the compound challenges ahead.
