|a Since
1900,
the
global
population
has
increased
over
fourfold,
putting
unprecedented
strain
on
our
planet’s
resources
and
life
supporting
systems.
Humanity’s
contribution
of
greenhouse
gases
(GHGs)
to
the
atmosphere
has
begun
to
cause
Earth’s
climate
to
change,
warming
hundreds
of
times
faster
than
it
has
at
any
point
so
far
in
our
planet’s
history.
Awareness
of
climate
change
is
growing
in
the
defense
community,
exemplified
by
the
2010
Quadrennial
Defense
Review
(QDR),
which
was
the
first
version
of
the
guiding
defense
document
to
explicitly
consider
how
climate
change
might
affect
the
defense
mission.
On
June
25-‐26,
2012,
over
130
leaders
working
in
the
climate
and
defense
nexus
gathered
in
Washington,
DC
to
participate
in
a
workshop
titled
“Defense,
National
Security
and
Climate
Change:
Building
Resilience
and
Identifying
Opportunities
Related
to
Water,
Energy
and
Extreme
Events.”
During
those
two
days,
participants
shared
insights
in
roundtable
sessions
and
listened
to
leaders
representing
a
broad
range
of
organizations
and
perspectives.
The
workshop
aimed
to
present
a
variety
of
perspectives
from
the
defense
and
associated
communities
on
the
national
security
and
defense
implications
of
climate
change.
By
bringing
together
the
leading
minds
in
the
field,
the
workshop
sparked
important
conversations
and
allowed
participants
to
learn
and
share
insights
on
the
state
of
climate
change
work
in
the
defense
community.
The
purpose
of
this
paper
is
to
distill
some
of
the
main
themes
and
ideas
derived
from
the
workshop
and
synthesize
what
was
learned.
It
is
the
goal
of
the
paper
to
not
merely
summarize
the
events
of
the
workshop,
but
to
analyze
and
discuss
some
of
the
important
ideas
that
emerged
from
it. |
