- Summary:
- Climate change and increasingly frequent and extreme weather events have caused a surge in global natural disasters over the past 50 years, according to a 2021 report by the World Meteorological Organization. The U.S. Department of State has concluded that natural hazards may pose a threat to the safety and security of its overseas diplomatic assets, consisting of more than 90,000 personnel and properties valued at approximately $70 billion in over 290 locations. According to State, the increasing number and severity of natural hazards due to climate change heightens the risk of damage to State's overseas locations (posts) and real property assets, including the office buildings, support facilities, and staff residences that comprise these posts.
