DoD Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap
"But the challenge of global climate change, while not new to history, is new to the modern world. Climate change does not directly cause conflict, but it can significantly add to the challenges of global instability, hunger, poverty, and conflict. Food and water shortages, pandemic disease, disputes over refugees and resources, more severe natural disasters - all place additional burdens on economies, societies, and institutions around the world." --
Secretary Hagel Halifax International Security Forum (DoD Arctic Strategy) Nov 2013
