Lawfare Daily: Threat Multiplier, Climate, and the Military with Sherri Goodman
On today\u2019s episode, Sherri Goodman, the Secretary General of the International Military Council on Climate & Security and the first Deputy Undersecretary of Defense (Environmental Security) joins Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien to talk about Sherri\u2019s new book, \u201cThreat Multiplier: Climate, Military Leadership, and the Fight for Global Security.\u201d
They discuss Sherri\u2019s career in climate security, beginning at the Senate Armed Services Committee before \u201cclimate security\u201d entered the lexicon. From there, they trace Sherri\u2019s career educating a generation of military leaders about the nexus between climate change and national security and coining the phrase \u201cthreat multiplier,\u201d helping to usher in a paradigm shift at the Pentagon. Sherri addresses skeptics wary of a perceived tradeoff between military readiness and greening the military, as well as others who warn against \u201csecuritizing\u201d climate change. Finally, they look ahead, as Sherri lays out her four main pillars of climate action (mitigation and adaptation) and institutional reform (awareness and alliance building).
