Sherri Goodman serves as Chair of the Board at the Council on Strategic Risks, Secretary General of the International Military Council on Climate and Security, Senior Strategist and Advisory Board member at the Center for Climate and Security, and Senior Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center’s Polar Institute and Environmental Change and Security Program. Sherri serves as Vice Chair of the Secretary of State’s International Security Advisory Board.
Sherri Goodman will discuss her latest book, Threat Multiplier: Climate, Military Leadership, and the Fight for Global Security, in which she goes inside the Pentagon and onto the battlefield to show how the US military is confronting the biggest security risk in global history: climate change. This book distills more than thirty years of Goodman’s work educating a generation of US military, intelligence and government officials about the links between climate change and security. Goodman goes on a global journey to show how the US military has transformed into a clean energy and climate leader, recognizing that a warming world exacerbates every threat.
