Protecting the environment and preserving our natural resources is a challenge we must address locally, nationally, and globally. As President Obama noted in his climate action plan, we have a moral obligation to leave our children a healthier planet. But environmental protection is not just about our moral obligation to future generations. It is also about advancing our current national security and economic interests. The devastating impacts of climate change and environmental degradation have touched every corner of the Earth, sending shock waves that have reverberated in communities from the Eastern Shore of Maryland to the peaceful plains of middle America, to the pastoral communities of Africa, to low-lying islands in the Asia-Pacific. Regardless of what any of us may think about the scientific evidence of climate change, the security and economic impacts of climate-induced shocks and environmental degradation are significant.
