Program Summary: Climate change poses considerable risk to physical systems, biological resources, and social institutions that society depends upon. As a result, military officials and security experts view climate change as a threat multiplier of existing national security concerns and a source of new threats to the United States. This briefing will explore the national security implications of climate change to the United States and worldwide.

Presented in partnership with: The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the American Chemical Society's Science and the Congress Project, the American Geophysical Union (AGU).
