Climate Change & Coastal Resilience
Working Group Leads: Dr. Daniel Eisenberg, Naval Postgraduate School; Lt. Col. Theodore Shanks, Brown University
The Climate Change & Coastal Resilience Working Group explores climate change challenges to humanitarian response and resilience, particularly in disaster response contexts and also in application to military installations. Previous group meetings have highlighted that climate change will have broad impacts, including on long term planning on military bases, deployment of mitigation resources, escalation of global conflicts, and its complications on military and humanitarian disaster response.
