Description

The educational portion of this event is sponsored by Citizens' Climate Education and The Center for Climate and Security.

This event will feature a screening of the award-winning 40-minute film Tidewater, followed by a panel discussion. The film tells the story of challenges faced by 13 military bases and 17 municipalities in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, where water is rising and land is sinking. After the film, a panel of retired senior military experts from the Center for Climate and Security will outline challenges our military must meet to protect our nation in a changing climate, with an opportunity for audience questions. Citizens' Climate Education volunteers will discuss how concerned citizens can encourage Congress to take action to mitigate climate change in order to protect our national security and economy.

The panel includes:

Lieutenant General John G. Castellaw, USMC (Ret)
Rear Admiral Leendert “Len” Hering Sr., USN (Ret)
Brigadier General Gerald Galloway, USA (Ret)

Moderator:
John Conger, Director, Center for Climate and Security

Carpooling is encouraged.

“I agree that the effects of a changing climate – such as increased maritime access to the Arctic, rising sea levels, desertification, among others – impact our security situation.”

Secretary of Defense James Mattis
