About the Workshop

The Offices of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy, Installations, and Environment are pleased to invite you to attend the 2023 Climate Resilience Workshop from July 10 – 13 in St. Louis, Missouri. This workshop will provide a forum for DOD stakeholders and partners to explore the many facets of climate change, a national security threat that has tangible impacts to military readiness. Installations, environmental organizations, and climate change professionals will all be broadly represented to help inform the Military Departments on data, tools, and resources for addressing and combatting climate change threats.
