In the face of multiple threats – the rapidly escalating climate emergency, increasing levels of social inequity, devastating armed conflicts, humanitarian catastrophes and ecological disasters around the world – have governments finally shifted away from narrow outdated notions of military security based on endless preparations for war towards prioritising spending on human health and wellbeing, and care for the planet?
