Defense Writers Group
October 8, 2021
Moderator: Good morning everyone, and welcome to what I know is going to be a terrific session of the Defense Writers Group. I’m Thom Shanker, Director of the Project for Media and National Security at George Washington University and we have a terrific and timely guest today. It’s Richard Kidd. He’s the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Environment and Energy Resilience, and as you know a very timely and important report came out just yesterday.
Because the report just came out yesterday I’d invite Mr. Kidd to kind of open the session today with sort of an intro and sketch the landscape for us. So Mr. Kidd, the floor is yours, sir.
DepSec Kidd: Thank you, and good morning everyone. It’s a pleasure to be here today and talk to you about the Department of Defense’s Climate Adaptation Plan which is a very significant document in terms of charting the Department’s way forward in regards to climate change adaptation.
