Venue: Seminar Room, LAB-14, 290
Presenters: Ms Sherri Goodman
The humanitarian dimension of climate change receives little attention in Australia, but is the subject of intense focus overseas, particularly in the United States. Climate change interacts with other pre-existing problems to become an accellerant to instability in unexpected ways. Scarce resources, growing water scarcity, declining crop yields, rising food prices, extreme weather events and health impacts become catalysts for instability and conflict, especially in Asia.
Presented by Breakthrough and Sherri Goodman Deputy Undersecretary for Environmental Security at the US Department of Defense.
