SUMMARY:Why Is It So Hard To Talk About Climate Change?
DESCRIPTION:The 2020-2021 Foreign Policy Forum Series is presented by Hitachi Healthcare Americas. \nClimate change is one area where politics\, economics\, and science come together to create an all-encompassing challenge that must be met by leaders worldwide. Unfortunately\, it is clear that the causes\, effects\, and policies needed to counter climate change are a point of contention\, as everything regarding climate change has become politically divisive. Global issues require global responses and there is no agreement on whether or how the international community can coordinate approaches to the many challenges involving energy\, environment\, and fiscal responsibilities. Molly Williamson\, a retired Foreign Service Officer and current scholar with the Middle East Institute\, will explore key factors confounding policy makers and political leaders\, both foreign and domestic. \nMolly Williamson is a retired Foreign Service Officer\, who served six different presidents\, and achieved the rank of Career Minister. Williamson speaks extensively on energy\, economic and demographic factors affecting foreign policy formulation\, US-Middle East relations\, especially regional unrest\, the Israel-Palestine conflict\, Iran and nuclear challenges\, and the interagency process. \nShe is a scholar with the Middle East Institute and the National Council on US-Arab Relations\, a consultant\, and frequent guest lecturer at Johns Hopkins University\, the Defense Institute of Security Cooperation\, and the National Joint Staff College. Williamson has had a unique combination of policy positions in four Cabinet departments in the U.S. government as well as numerous diplomatic assignments in and about the Middle East. Williamson was the Senior Foreign Policy Advisor to the Secretary of Energy with global responsibilities at the nexus of foreign policy and energy policy. \nThis webinar is free\, but advanced registration is required.\nRegister HERE.

SUMMARY:Too Much and Never Enough: Climate Change and Water Insecurity - Our discussion with Ambassador Kenneth Brill
DESCRIPTION:  \nNational and international security\, stability and prosperity will face novel challenges in the coming decades.  Rivalry between the “great powers” (U.S.\, China\, and Russia)\, as well as between regional states\, will remain a feature of 21st Century international relations.  But novel transnational issues\, such as climate change\, cyber space\, and pandemic diseases\, will establish the context in which rivalries between states play out; at the same time\, these transnational challenges will require global cooperation to prevent them from becoming potentially existential threats to human well being. \n  \nClimate change is the most all encompassing of transnational threats. The natural world\, which is the basis for all human societies\, had adapted to one set of climatic conditions\, but is now adapting to new and still changing climatic conditions.  That adaptation\, the historical data show\, will change the nature and location of the global water supply\, whether frozen or liquid\, as well as sea levels.  This will lead to various kinds of water insecurity\, which\, in turn\, will increase state fragility and failure\, increasing the potential for instability and potentially domestic and cross-border conflict.  To give an example of the scale of the issue\, a 2015 National Academy of Sciences study suggested that an increase in global temperatures of 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit — a business-as-usual scenario — could lock in enough eventual sea-level rise to submerge land currently home to 470 to 760 million people globally by the end of the century.   Asia would be the hardest hit region\, but more than 20 million people would be affected in U.S. coastal areas.   \n  \nAmbassador (ret.) Ken Brill will discuss how climate change is producing water insecurity\, the various forms that insecurity can take\, what regions globally are most prone to experiencing water insecurity\, what the long term implications of growing water insecurity are\, how these issues are being addressed currently and\, and what more can be done manage water-related challenges to stability and prosperity. \n  \nAbout Ambassador Kenneth Brill\n \n  \nAmbassador (ret.) Kenneth C. Brill was a career Foreign Service Officer whose overseas posts were in Africa\, the Middle East\, South Asia\, and Europe.  His domestic assignments included African and Middle Eastern issues\, acting Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs (OES)\, and staff jobs for senior State Department  policy officials.   \n  \nBrill served as Ambassador to Cyprus for President Clinton and Ambassador to the IAEA and the UN Office in Vienna for President George W. Bush.  In his final Foreign Service assignment\, he was asked by the first Director of National Intelligence\, John Negroponte\, to establish and lead the U.S. National Counterproliferation Center\, an organization providing strategic leadership to the U.S. Intelligence Community in countering the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and preventing WMD terrorism.  After retiring from the Foreign Service he has worked with non-partisan NGOs in various capacities on issues ranging from nuclear security and strengthening America’s diplomacy to fragile states and climate change.   \n  \nBrill is a graduate of Ohio University and received his MBA from the University of California at Berkeley. He and his wife\, Mary\, have two children and one granddaughter.  His op-eds have appeared in the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, USA Today\, Politico\, and The Hill.
