In episode 189 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons attended the U.S. Department of Defense Climate Resilience Workshop in St. Louis, Missouri. The DoD extended an invitation to Doug to conduct interviews with key leaders within the DoD and their external partners who are actively involved in adaptation planning around military installations. The conference attracted over 900 experts specializing in adaptation.  During the event, Doug had the opportunity to interview three Assistant Secretaries from the DoD, as well as representatives from prominent corporate partners like ICF and Deloitte. Additionally, he spoke with NGO partners such as Environmental Defense Fund and the National Wildlife Federation. The interviews shed light on the specific security challenges posed by climate change to our national defense.  Listeners will gain valuable insights into how different organizations and companies engage with the DoD to develop effective resilience planning. Moreover, the interviews underscore the importance of robust adaptation planning to safeguard military readiness amidst the impacts of climate change.
