What would it even mean to co-operate with NATO on

climate change, human rights, integrity building and cyber defence[?]

NATO is only concerned with one of these things. Co-operation in this respect can only mean exacerbating climate change, ignoring human rights, and I don't even know what it might mean for one of the most violent military alliances in history to build integrity.

Edit: missing question mark added.

Climate Change is on the mind of every military in the world.

Any force not planning for what conflicts will erupt is insane.

So yes NATO cares very much about climate change:

I stand corrected. I still don't think they plan to do anything about climate change. Not unless they're forced by public pressure. The plan is more to protect the capitalist class from the destruction of climate change.

They can work on climate change without NATO but with civilian organizations, if you involve NATO - it is military.
