|a CNA’s Military Advisory Board (MAB) first addressed the
national security implications of climate change in our
2007 report—National Security and the Threat of Climate
Change. We gather again as a group of 16 retired
Generals and Admirals from the Army, Navy, Air Force,
and Marine Corps to re-examine climate change in the
context of a more informed, but more complex and
integrated world, and to provide an update to our
2007 findings.
We are compelled to conduct this update now because
of nearly seven years of developments in scientific
climate projections; observed climate changes, particularly
in the Arctic; the toll of observed extreme
weather events both at home and abroad; and changes
in the global security environment. Although we have
seen some movement in mitigation and other areas
where climate adaptation and resilience are starting to
be included in planning documents, we gather again
because of our growing concern over the lack of comprehensive
action by both the United States and the
international community to address the full spectrum
of projected climate change issues.
The specific questions addressed in this update are:
1. Have new threats or opportunities associated with
projected climate change or its effects emerged since
our last report? What will be the impacts on our
military?
2. The 2014 National Climate Assessment indicates
that climate change, once considered an issue for a
distant future, has moved firmly into the present.
What additional responses should the national security
community take to reduce the risks posed to our
nation and to the elements of our National Power
(Political, Military, Social, Infrastructure, and Information
systems (PMESII))? |
