The Asia-Pacific Rebalance, National Security, and Climate Change (Report Launch)

17 November 2015

Wilson Center, Washington DC, US

As the United States reorients its foreign policy approach to the Asia-Pacific region, it must seriously consider the impacts of climate change, argues a new report from the Center for Climate and Security. How can the United States help improve the region’s climate resilience, and at the same time, strategically adapt to a rapidly changing security environment?

Distinguished defense, diplomacy, and intelligence leaders will explore the intersection of climate change, drivers of insecurity, and U.S. national security priorities in the Asia-Pacific region.
