Ministry of Defence: Sustainable Development

The Levelling Up, Union, Climate Change and Sustainability Directorate, established in 2021, is made up of 26 posts with 22 civilian and military posts primarily focused on Climate Change and Sustainability activity. The Directorate provides direction, priorities and targets into Defence planning and gives a transparent and coherent report of Defence progress against the Climate Change and Sustainability Strategic Approach.

The majority of Defence organisations, including the three Services, now also have their own 2 star Sustainability Champion and Climate Change and Sustainability teams which vary in size. Their responsibilities are to develop and deliver their organisation's contribution to both the Departmental ambitions and their own organisational priorities.
