Cover title. "DGM-281122-ZZH"--Verso of cover. Includes bibliographical references. "Science and technology (S&T) is essential to provide the technological and knowledge advantage necessary to aid the Department of National Defence (DND) and the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), collectively referred to as DND/CAF, in preparing for the risks posed by climate change and developing environmentally sustainable operations. The Defence Climate Resilience and Environmental Sustainability Science & Technology strategy (hereafter referred to as, the Strategy, or CRESST) identifies ways in which S&T efforts can help in the mitigation of DND/CAF's environmental impacts, while also supporting the adaptation of its infrastructure, workforce, and all orders of business to become more sustainable and climate resilient. The Strategy will also enable DND/CAF to leverage S&T efforts in contributing to departmental and Government of Canada climate change and sustainability targets and commitments. Encompassing a long-term perspective, the CRESST provides a guide towards opportunities for collaborative partnerships, knowledge exchange, and targeted defence research within three strategic objectives, all in the context of defence and security: 1. Conduct research to enable climate change mitigation and environmental sustainability, including in areas such as power and energy transition, pollution reduction, mitigation of environmental impacts, and informing procurement; 2. Assess challenges, risks, and opportunities associated with the environment and climate change, including through examining the impact on DND/CAF activities and forecasting energy needs and costs; 3. Conduct research to support climate change adaptation and resilience, focusing on technologies, methods and practices for adaptation, as well as Arctic-specific requirements"--Executive summary, page 2.
