 Kate Guy, I'm a senior research fellow with the Center for Climate and Security here in DC and was the principal investigator and chair of the panel that published this report, Security Threat Assessment of Global Climate Change. We're seeing things like food and water stress turn into famines, turn into massive migrations of people, turn into potential political and institutional collapse at a local level, potentially sparking conflict or violence between groups and regions where these effects are happening and of course leading to loss of life in many, many places. So this report specifically looks at how future scenarios of warming might impact security environments, security institutions and security infrastructure specifically. So we can understand, you know, as a security community, what is the threat really like and how do we better analyze the difference in warming scenarios. Places we already are worried about in the world are getting a lot worse and a lot more dangerous and as that temperature increases over time, those impacts don't stay confined to those parts of the world. All parts of the world become affected and that was the other big finding of our report is that at those longer-term, very high levels of warming, there is no region of the world that's unaffected. The magnitude of the risks that climate change poses are so extreme that it really needs to be central to all levels of security planning within the U.S. government and international security governments as well. And so what we mean by that is, first, we need to mitigate the threat and we need to do as a society and as a globe everything we can to make sure that those high levels of warming that we analyze never come to pass. The second and third way that we really need to look at these impacts from a security community perspective is first we need to be climate-proofing everything. We need to climate-proof the decisions we make. We need to climate-proof the missions we take. We need to climate-proof our infrastructure, our energy systems, all of these things because we know some of these impacts are already here and we need to limit the destruction that they can pose and can pose into the future. So we need to climate-proof all levels of our life. The U.S. security community has been one of the first to taking climate change seriously and has historically you know through the intelligence services, through the military, through the security forces understood very quickly that climate change could throw a lot of things into bad directions. So that's why we are as a security community always very happy when we see bipartisan efforts on Capitol Hill and in other places that is you know recognizing security impacts to our faces understanding that we need to do these analyses and I believe it truly is a bipartisan issue. National security affects everyone and an issue like climate change will affect all of us whether we admit it or not.
