Beschreibung
"More than thirty years ago, when Sherri Goodman became the Pentagon s first Chief Environmental Officer, no one would have imagined this role for our armed forces. Indeed, for much of the twentieth century, the Department of Defense (DOD) was better known for containing the Soviet nuclear threat than protecting the environment. And yet, today, the military has moved from an environmental laggard to a clean energy and climate leader, recognizing that a warming world exacerbates every threat--from hurricanes and forest fires, to competition for increasingly scarce food and water, to terrorism and power plays by Russia and China. The Pentagon now considers climate in war games, disaster relief planning, international diplomacy, and even the design of its own bases. What was the key to this dramatic change in military thinking? What keeps today s generals and admirals up at night? How can we safeguard our national defense and our planet?"--
