Yesterday AIDN VIC hosted and facilitated a meeting between General Tom Middendorp AO (Ret.), the former Dutch Commander in Chief and current Chair of the International Military Council on Climate and Security, and representatives from Victorian defence industry that operate across the climate and security domains. General Middendorp opened discussions surrounding the IMCSS' mission and why climate change is a security and defence concern, followed by a Q&A. Leading to conversations concerning logistic challenges, regional fragmentation, increased natural disasters and subsequent distractions from a military's core mission of sovereign defence. AIDN would like to extend our gratitude to General Middendorp and the Embassy and Consulate-General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Australia for reaching out and assisting with organising this meeting. We hope this meeting can work as a first step for future engagement. Thank you to all who participated and contributed to the meeting: Alexander Robinson, Ocean Software / AIDN Director Regina Crameri PhD, GAICD, Victorian Defence Industry Advocate Teresa Tufano, Victorian Government Jason Barkla, Aldus Engineering Kristian Wheeler, Aurecon Steve Kouloumendas, Anywise Emily Zitkevicius Tim Lee, AMOG Callum Wright, The Defence Science Institute Pier Marzocca, RMIT University Rachelle Gedge, Renaissance Strategic Advisors #AIDNNational #AIDNVIC #EnhancingIndustryandDefence #StrongerTogether Australian Industry & Defence Network (AIDN National)
