Topic
"The Nexus Between Climate Change and National Security" with Sherri Goodman
Date & Time
Selected Sessions:
Nov 18, 2024 12:00 PM
Description
How does climate change affect national security? What role do the Armed Forces play in this context? And how has the U.S. Department of Defense prepared to address this challenge?
To explore these questions, we have invited Sherri Goodman – the first U.S. Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Environmental Security (1993-2001) – to deliver the keynote lecture "The Nexus Between Climate Change and National Security."
During the event, Sherri will discuss how climate change functions as a "threat multiplier", and how the Pentagon has addressed this issue since the creation of the Office of Environmental Security up to the present day. These reflections are discussed by Sherri Goodman in her recent book Threat Multiplier: Climate, Military Leadership, & the Fight for Global Security, released in August 2024.
