Professional Networks
The Federal Environmental Security Consortium (FESC) is a collaboration of in agencies, partner organizations, interagency groups and communities of interest that focus on environmental security issues. it serves as a forum for partner organizations to leverage the variety of resources and networks across the environmental security spectrum in the hopes of maximizing information sharing and environmental security awareness across the whole of government. The FESC holds quarterly Roundtable meetings to allow members to provide updates and learn about other entities. Governmental entities are invited to join as full Members or as Partners. FESC members are connected to the FESC portal on Pix. The CSN is a member of the FESC and Kristen Fletcher is the inaugural FESC president serving 1 Oct 2022 – 30 Sept 2023.

RECESS - Resource Competition, Environmental Security, and Stability. Bringing together more than 100 civilians and military officers from Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Military Services, the Joint Staff, the Combatant Commands, and other DoD Components, RECESS informs policy and strategy, breaks down silos, coordinates messaging, and promotes cooperation on environmental security and stability across DoD. RECESS also serves as a bridge to the Intelligence Community and key stakeholders in other U.S. Government departments and agencies, academia, think tanks, non-governmental organizations, and international organizations. Bringing together the talent, diverse perspectives, and knowledge of these communities can help to ensure that DoD has the necessary information, context, and insights to prepare for the growing security risks of global environmental change and instability. For more information, contact kristen.fletcher@nps.edu.
