Record budget: One in five euros allocated to defense

AI justification

Record defense budget diverts critical resources from social/environmental priorities, undermining multiple SDGs. | While increased defense spending may bolster national security (SDG 16), the opportunity cost is substantial, diverting critical resources from social welfare, climate action, and sustainable development. The negative impact on multiple SDGs and planetary boundaries outweighs the limited positive effect, reflecting a misalignment with long-term ethical priorities.
