The Army Mad Scientist Initiative has been running a series of virtual events to explore competition and conflict in the future. For the next event in this series we'll be hosting a group of experts from across academia and government to explore issues of climate change policy, threats, resilience, mitigation, and adaptations. This event will help discern and expound on the Army's role in combating climate change and how it will conduct operations while being challenged by climate change impacts on the future operational environment.
