National Security and Climate Change: What Do We Need to Know?
This briefing is convened by the Henry M. Jackson Foundation and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in partnership with the Woodrow Wilson Center’s Environmental Change and Security Program.
What do a White House senior advisor, a member of Congress, scientists, military planners, and business people have in common? At a June 4 symposium in Seattle organized by the Jackson Foundation and PNNL, they all agreed that climate change is having an impact on national security that will only increase with time. Thirty-six leaders from federal agencies, state and local government, research organizations, business, and academia participated in the symposium titled “The Intersection of National Security and Climate Change – What do Decision-makers Need to be Prepared?”
This briefing will focus on the key recommendations and consensus points that emerged from the June discussion and highlight the next steps for action.
