Climate change poses considerable risk to physical systems, biological resources, and social institutions that society depends on. As a result, military officials and security experts view climate change as a threat multiplier of existing national security concerns and a source of new threats to the United States. This briefing will explore the national security implications of climate change to the United States and worldwide.
