At the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s recent Parliamentary Assembly meeting in Montréal, officials from the allied states welcomed the establishment of the new Climate Change and Security Centre of Excellence (CCASCOE) in the city. CCASCOE is one of NATO’s 30 centres of excellence and is the first to be hosted by Canada. However, the new centre should be seen as a cynical ploy by NATO and the Canadian government to greenwash the world’s biggest, most carbon intensive military alliance.
