- Summary:
- This National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) is in response to a Presidential tasking to assess the national security impacts of climate change. While climate change effects are forecast to intensify in the latter half of the 21st century and continue well beyond 2100, based on current emissions trends and technologies, this NIE assesses the near- (5-10 years) and medium-term (10-20 years) geopolitical implications abroad--we do not assess impacts to the homeland or DOD facilities. We assume the following during the next 20 years: No precipitating world event that would devastate industrial activity will occur that sharply and permanently reduces greenhouse gas emissions. The scientific content of this NIE, both the observed climate effects to date and the modeled future impacts, were reviewed by the US Federal science agencies on the Climate Security Advisory Council (CSAC). The CSAC is a partnership between the IC and the Federal science community established by Congress to better understand and anticipate the ways climate change affects US national security interests.
