Info about the report from the FAQs page:
“National Security and the Threat of Climate Change” is a report that evaluates the likely effects of climate change, including rising sea levels, increased desertification and availability of critical resources such as food, water and energy, and how those changes could trigger conflicts around the globe. It explores ways projected climate change is a “threat multiplier” in already fragile regions, exacerbating conditions that contribute to failed states — the breeding grounds for humanitarian disasters, extremism and violence. It includes analysis of the implications for U.S. military planning over the next 30 to 40 years, which is the timeframe that coincides with future defense planning horizons and weapons system life cycles.
The CNA Corporation brought together 11 of the most respected former United States military flag officers to consider the potential effects of climate change on America%26#039;s national security.
The group — known as the Military Advisory Board, or MAB — met over the last 8 months with military, intelligence and diplomatic experts, climate scientists, business leaders, and foreign officials including representatives of the British Government on issues of security and climate.
The MAB members represent all branches of the military and have served in senior positions in all regions of the world. Their broad scope of experience enabled them to formulate their own assessment of how the global effects of climate change could influence geo-political balance and U.S. security interests around the world, as well as how its effects on the U.S. could create special demands on the Guard and Reserves.
“National Security and the Threat of Climate Change” represents the collective views of the MAB. http://www.securityandclimate.cna.org/re... 0% 0 Votes
