Off the Shelf | Climate Change, Military Leadership, and the Fight for Global Security with Author, Sherri Goodman
In her new book, Threat Multiplier: Climate, Military Leadership, and the Fight for Global Security, Sherri Goodman, the nation’s inaugural Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Environmental Security and current Wilson Center Senior Fellow, tracks the evolution of the Pentagon’s understanding of the risks posed by climate change to US national security. Goodman explores the rapidly changing landscapes of a thawing Arctic to a drought-stricken Middle East, articulating climate change’s cascading impacts on the fight for global security and offering pragmatic guidance for policymakers to respond effectively.
