In a conversation with Cimpatico Studios host, Doug Parsons, Hon. Sherri Goodman, Senior Strategist at the Center for Climate and Security (CCS) and Chair of the Council on Strategic Risks (CSR), highlighted the importance of “climatizing security” in order to identify and respond to heightening climate risks and lead by example in climate change mitigation (e.g. adopting clean energy infrastructure). The conversation followed three major threads: the climate threat multiplier and its effect on the military, the role of international institutions in managing climate security and advancing clean energy, and the implications of U.S. President Biden’s recent executive order on the future of climate security.
