How is the U.S. military strategizing around climate change?

Join us for an Energy Policy Seminar featuring Sherri Goodman, senior fellow at the Wilson Center’s Environmental Change and Security Program and Polar Institute and former Chief Environmental Officer at the Pentagon. Drawing from her new book, Threat Multiplier, Goodman will address pressing questions at the nexus of climate change and national security: how military leaders’ thinking has evolved, what are their contingency plans, and where do they see conflict coming next.

Q&A to follow. Buffet-style lunch will be served.

Registration: RSVP required. A Harvard University ID is required for in-person attendance; all are welcome to attend via Zoom.

Recording: The seminar will be recorded and available to watch on the Belfer Center's YouTube channel. Those who register for this event will automatically receive a link to the recording as soon as it becomes available.
