6 Mr. Joseph Bryan, Senior Advisor on Climate to the U.S. Secretary of Defense spoke virtually to Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) students, faculty and staff about “The Security Implications of Climate Change,” and how the United States military and the world can benefit from reducing carbon emissions during the latest Secretary of the Navy Guest Lecture (SGL), April 27.
Bryan is an internationally-recognized expert on energy policy and clean energy, serving as Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy during the Obama Administration.
Quoting Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Byran began the lecture by saying, “There is little about what the Department [of Defense] does to defend the American people that is not affected by climate change.”
