"It will not be easy, but it can be done," he said in a speech on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Madrid. "All allies are committed to reducing their greenhouse gas emissions as part of the Paris agreement," he added. "Adapting their militaries will contribute to this, including more green tech, such as renewables, climate friendly synthetic fuels and more energy efficient solutions."
