Join the UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation’s Future of Democracy initiative and program on Climate Change and Security, together with the School of Global Policy and Strategy at UC San Diego, for a talk with Sherri Goodman, a globally recognized leader in environmental and climate security, on November 4, 2024 from 5 p.m. – 6:15 p.m. Goodman will discuss her new book, Threat Multiplier: Climate, Military Leadership, and the Fight for Global Security, a compelling exploration of the intersection between national security, climate change, and global stability. Drawing from her experience as the Pentagon’s first Chief Environmental Officer and as a leading expert in environmental security, Goodman will unpack how the U.S. military is confronting the biggest security risk in global history: climate change; and will explore what climate change might mean for the future of democracy. Sherri Goodman, senior fellow at the Wilson Center’s Environmental Change and Security Program and Polar Institute, and secretary general of the International Military Council on Climate & Security, is credited with educating a generation of U.S. military and government officials about the nexus between climate change and national security, using her famous coinage, “threat multiplier,” to fundamentally reshape the national discourse on the topic. Sherri serves as vice chair of the Secretary of State’s International Security Advisory Board and on the EXIM Bank’s Council on Climate. A former first deputy undersecretary of defense (Environmental Security) and staff member on the Senate Armed Services Committee, Goodman has founded, led, or advised nearly a dozen research organizations on environmental and energy matters, national security, and public policy.
