The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) invites you to a briefing on the impacts of climate change on U.S. national security. Climate change impacts—from extreme heat to wildfires and flooding—affect people’s homes and communities, as well as supply chains, the electric grid, military installations, and other critical infrastructure across the country. Effective adaptation actions can help address these widespread and costly vulnerabilities.

Panelists will discuss climate adaptation already happening at the local level around the country and the range of federal programs designed to support these efforts. They will also highlight ways that federal policy can advance national-level coordination on adaptation to safeguard critical infrastructure, and protect and improve people’s lives.
