New Security Beat

The Honorable @carloslcurbelo starts us off with keynote remarks on how #climatechange and climate risks affect #nationalsecurity and in the longterm he says, "how it will impact the lives of every single American"

"The time to act is not now, it was a long time ago." - @carloslcurbelo on climate change resilience and preparedness. "We cannot postpone it any longer."

.@carloslcurbelo offers the following to address #climatechange resilience: 1. True and accurate risk assessment; 2. A realistic plan to adapt and mitigate; 3. A sincere open-minded negotiation on climate solutions

What we know at the core of national security is that climate change will affect military readiness. In fact, it already has. - @Alice_C_Hill @CFR_org

"No one will be untouched by climate change" @Alice_C_Hill mentions grave threats to human security in the United States and internationally that are already occurring and likely to occur

The links between climate and conflict are still present - when we talk about water, we have not had water wars, and it's still a question of too much or too little water and what will happen with climate change @Alice_C_Hill

.@lesjr27 sees a lot more resilience bonds taking place in the future towards building resilience as a method for helping offload climate change impacts on insurance markets.
