National security, energy dependence and climate change are interrelated global problems. Dependence on foreign sources of energy constitutes a serious threat—militarily, socially and economically. And climate change is acting as a "threat multiplier," stoking instability in some of the most volatile regions of the world.

The Pew Environment Group brings together security, scientific and military experts to increase awareness of the links between our energy choices, climate change and national security.
