Jackson Hole Global Forum: Climate Change and National Security

Memo

The Jackson Hole Global Forum: Climate and National Security, hosted by the Jackson Hole Center for Global Affairs in partnership with the Center for Climate and Security and Prime Movers Lab will bring U.S. and global military leaders, security professionals, business executives, entrepreneurs, investors, policy leaders and citizens together to advance understanding and action that responds to the security implications of a changing climate. Consistent with advice of recent Defense Secretary James Mattis, who argued for a “whole-of-government response” to climate change, the Forum will assess and identify ways to prepare for climate change risks to national and global security and examine forward-looking climate action steps and opportunities to build resilience and act on climate. Time: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
