On behalf of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Defense and Aerospace Export Council, we invite you to participate in an intimate virtual discussion with the Hon. Sharon E. Burke, founder and President of Ecospherics on October 6th at 10:00AM EST.

The Administration is amplifying climate change and its impact on the security of the United States in the National Security Strategy and the National Defense Strategy, which means climate change is no longer just an environmental concern.  The Administration will soon complete three seminal reports: the Climate Action PlanFederal Sustainability Plan, and the Defense Climate Risk Analysis.
