Meelis Oidsalu discusses the Estonian Ministry of Defense's climate strategy, highlighting its thoroughness and remarkable public accountability, setting a strong example for other nations. Despite these advancements, troubling trends have emerged, particularly the rise in waste generation and a decline in waste sorting practices in certain organizations compared to previous years. Oidsalu raises concerns about the practicality of environmental policies within the defense sector, questioning whether these strategies can be effectively integrated into existing systems. Ultimately, he suggests that the real test will be whether the well-crafted environmental policies can transition from paper into tangible action in the field of national defense strategy.
