How the Pentagon is adapting to the threat of climate change

Season 2024 Episode 288 | 7m 28s

At a 2021 climate conference, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said, “No nation can find lasting security without addressing the climate crisis.” That sentiment reflects the Pentagon’s three-decade evolution on climate change. Ali Rogin sat down with Sherri Goodman, a former Pentagon official who chronicles that transformation in her new book, “Threat Multiplier.”
