Join SIS Geopolitical Ecology Initiative for a conversation on “Climate Change as Threat Multiplier” with former U.S. Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Environmental Security, Sherri Goodman, sponsored by the Geopolitical Ecology Initiative. RSVP today!

Sherri Goodman is among the most respected international voices on emerging global risks, including energy and climate security, environment and public health. As the first Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Environmental Security, she played a pivotal role in advancing defense policy on climate change, environmental sustainability, and energy security. Her work spans from military strategy to energy policy to climate change adaptation, with a focus on actionable solutions that can build a more secure and sustainable future.

Today, Sherri Goodman serves as an independent board director and Secretary General of the International Military Council on Climate & Security. Her book, Threat Multiplier: Climate, Military Leadership and the Fight for Global Security, gives readers an inside account, from the Pentagon to the battlefield, of today’s military on the front lines of a changing climate, the energy transition, technology upheavals and new health challenges.
