The book traverses several tracks to include the climate change trajectory, which is adversely impacting every nation, its fundamental economic framework and even strategic alliances. It expatiates about geographical and social impact; and strategic and security implications being shaped increasingly by climate change crises across the world. The astonishing facts, figures, and comprehensive overview researched in the book is strong language itself which rattles the conscience of the reader to probe about India, which remains one of the most threatened countries by the ramifications of climate change. The journey of India from 'Being a silent spectator to leading climate power' while balancing energy security and developmental concerns is an interesting landscape to travel. The book further delves into uncharted territory full of intersections of arrays of military emissions, climate security, global and national security. The overview of the powerful militaries of leading economies which are vehemently contributing towards their national goal by reducing emissions without compromising on operational capabilities opens a new domain of thought. Every sketch in the book facilitates quicker assimilation of thoughts and prepares a reader for a plunge from despair to hope and brings to its central theme which is to draw up a broad vision and action plan for the 1.5 million strong forces which have a unique potential for immense contribution & blazing the trail for other organisations in India and militaries in Asia to emulate upon. The unparalleled green potential of our forces of spearheading organisational and individual decarbonisation revolution with quantification of emission reductions, while maintaining balance as a warrior and climate warrior is particularly highlighted as a key objective.
