In conducting this study, the committee found that even the most moderate current trends in climate, if continued, will present new national security challenges for the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. While the timing, degree, and consequences of future climate change impacts remain uncertain, many changes are already underway in regions around the world, such as in the Arctic, and call for action by U.S. naval leadership in response. The terms of reference (TOR) directed that the study be based on Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) scenarios and other peer-reviewed assessment. Therefore, the committee did not address the science of climate change or challenge the scenarios on which the committee's findings and recommendations are based. National Security Implications of Climate Change for U.S. Naval Forces addresses both the near- and long-term implications for U.S. naval forces in each of the four areas of the TOR, and provides corresponding findings and recommendations. This report and its conclusions are organized around six discussion areas--all presented within the context of a changing climate. 606 $aClimatic changes$xStrategic aspects 606 $aGlobal warming$xStrategic aspects 606 $aNational security$zUnited States$xForecasting 606 $aMilitary planning$zUnited States 615 0$aClimatic changes$xStrategic aspects. 615 0$aGlobal warming$xStrategic aspects. 615 0$aNational security$xForecasting. 615 0$aMilitary planning 676 $a359.00973 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.) 712 02$aNational Academies Press (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781326503321 996 $aNational security implications of climate change for U.S. naval forces$93803060 997 $aUNINA
