In this paper I examine how European arms lobbies are repurposing definitions of social and environmental sustainability to legitimise and expand military-industrial production. Through the concept of «armed sustainability» I capture how ethical finance frameworks are being reframed to position European arms production as a precondition for peace, security and climate action. The equation of military-industrial growth with sustainability is enabling increased public and private investment in arms, while diverting resources from people and planetary wellbeing and silencing anti-imperial and anti-militarist approaches to mitigating socio-environmental harms. Rather than recognise militarised approaches to social and environmental insecurities as part of their causes, sustainable finance is emerging as a tool for sustaining imperial military violence. I argue for rethinking sustainability altogether through grounding what it means to «invest» in socially and environmentally responsible worldmaking projects in the demands, visions and experiences of socio-environmental justice struggles
