CNA Military Advisory Board: National Security and the Accelerating Risks of Climate Change

The CNA Military Advisory Board (MAB) recently issued a new publication on climate change that updates insights on the topic shared in the 2007 report National Security and the Threat of Climate Change. The MAB stresses that some of the predicted trends have been shown to have developed even more dynamically than anticipated and repeatedly urges the international community to take appropriate action. After analysing international and domestic threats, the authors state that climate change has the potential to become a “catalyst for conflict”, not just a “threat multiplier”.
