Join the Council on Strategic Risks on November 5 from 9:30-10:30 am ET for a conversation about Center for Climate and Security (CCS) Director Erin Sikorsky’s new book, Climate Change on the Battlefield, which offers a comparative look at how militaries around the world are responding to climate change. Through rich international case studies, she dissects how rising temperatures and extreme weather degrade military readiness, shape existing threats, and create new ones. Some militaries are simply layering climate risk into existing doctrine, while a few are reimagining their core missions in light of climate change. Whether these responses adequately match the challenge is, in her view, a critical question for the future of global security. 

This virtual, public event will feature opening remarks from CSR Executive Vice President Mallory Stewart, former US Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control, Deterrence and Stability, and a fireside chat between Erin and Converging Risks Lab (CRL) Director Caroline Baxter, former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Force Education and Training.
