Infrastructure Adaptations to Address Security Threats from a Changing Climate

About The Adaptation and National Security Series: The Security and Sustainability Forum is hosting a complimentary 5 -part webinar series to assist managers, decision makers and professionals from government, industry and academia better understand and promote effective measures to adapt to the complexities of a changing climate.  

About Session 3:  In the United States and around the globe, climate change presents threats to water, energy, transportation and other infrastructure. These threats are often compounded in a context of rapid urban development, population growth and accompanying service needs, and aging infrastructure.  Climate impacts include changes in precipitation patterns, increased frequency of high-intensity storms, sea level rise. These and other climate effects may result in coastal erosion and associated damage to ports, roads, and other coastal infrastructure, flooding, salinity intrusion into water supplies, and inadequacy of existing infrastructure to handle these changes. This Webinar will examine these changing conditions, their implications for basic infrastructure, and strategies to understand and address these issues.
