In addition to analyzing the climate and energy nexus in the context of transatlantic security, the report also offers a series of sensible recommendations for policy-makers on both sides of the pond:
- “In the United States, improve the public dissemination of scientific information about our changing climate and its effects on citizens’ well-being and national security.”
- “Require that the effects of our changing climate and its implications for energy costs be explicitly included in government and military planning.”
- “Publicize innovative local efforts at energy and fuel efficiency and improving climate resilience, and support initiatives for the sharing of experiences and lessons internationally.”
- “Plan for cooperative, multinational humanitarian assistance operations led by NATO.”
- “The transatlantic community should take a multilateral, instead of a bilateral, approach to scientific and technological engagement with other key partners in Asia and South America.”
