ICFRC: Climate Security as National Security - Climate Change and the Hawkeye State

Listen to an audio podcast of this program.

Climate change is at the forefront of both foreign and domestic policy. While often discussed as an environmental issue, there are profound consequences for our national security, the military, and international relations. From an increase in severe weather events to food security and migration -- the complexities of climate have far-reaching implications for both Iowans and the nation.

Panelists:
Mike Franken, retired Vice Admiral, U.S. Navy
Rob Hogg, former Iowa State Senator, District 33
Sara McLaughlin Mitchell, Professor & Collegiate Fellow, University of Iowa

Moderated by:
Jessica Yllemo, Director, Climate Security Programs - The American Security Project
