Challenges of Climate Security & Governance Competition

This presentation features NPS students who will share their thesis work on how climate security events can be leveraged in governance competition, especially in vulnerable regions. The research includes the connections associated with Climate Security and Strategic Competition and how the DoD can best approach these challenges. Special focus will be applied to how climate change events can serve as a threat multiplier and how Army Special Operations Civil Affairs can assist in addressing the strategic geopolitical implications of climate security as it concerns the civil domain.
