ICYMI: Resilient Infrastructure Risks to National Security

The Buzz with ACT-IAC

This week, The Buzz presents a session from our 2023 Resilient Infrastructure Summit.
DoD, DHS, and the State Department have long recognized that resilient infrastructure’s impacts - including sea level rise, weather-related challenges to installations and operations, and forced migration - can significantly threaten our national security. In January of 2021, President Biden signed Executive Order 14008 that declared resilient infrastructure to be an essential element of national security and directed agencies to integrate it considerations into their operations. This discussion will highlight the science, risks, and realities that DoD, the Coast Guard, and the Statement Department are wrestling with as they implement adaptation plans and frameworks and incorporate consideration of resilient infrastructure into future planning.
Speakers:
John Conger (Moderator) - Director Emeritus, Center for Resilient Infrastructure& Security
Chelsea Cervantes de Blois, Ph.D. - Resilient Infrastructure Security Analyst, U.S. Department of State
Candace Nachman - Senior Oceans Policy and Program Advisor, U.S. Coast Guard
Ester Sperling - Senior Resilient Infrastructure Advisor, U.S. Air Force
