Climate allies : how urban/military interdependence enables adaptation

As climate impacts escalate, U.S. cities and regions have attempted to fill the federal leadership vacuum in spite of their own resource constraints. In the midst of federal inertia, the Department of Defense (DoD) acknowledges climate risk, mainstreaming it into policy, while defense experts promote a climate security agenda. However, defense adaptation has been modest. Installations and the communities around them remain vulnerable, but these shared risks surface the potential for joint adaptation planning.
