Climate Security Roundtable
The Congressionally-mandated National Academies Climate Security Roundtable (CSRT) is sponsored by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and provides federal officials with a platform for direct, sustained engagement with non-federal experts on a wide range of climate security issues. Through its meetings, workshops, and other activities, the CSRT convenes discussions that support the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) and the Federal science community in assessing, understanding, and anticipating climate-related risks to U.S. national security interests.

Any project, supported or not by a committee, that is currently being worked on or is considered active, and will have an end date.
Description
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will establish a Climate Security Roundtable, with a goal of supporting the Climate Security Advisory Council to anticipate, prepare, and ultimately prevent climate security crises from escalating into national security challenges and threats. The Roundtable will facilitate dialogue and collaboration on topics to include:
1. Emerging, abrupt, and understudied risks associated with the changing climate that could have implications for national security.
2. Exchange of data, knowledge, and expertise on the topic of climate security, gaps in these exchanges, and viable solutions to address gaps.
3. Earth system observing, modeling, research, collection, and analytic priorities relevant to improving understanding and to helping anticipate, prepare for, and prevent climate security crises.
4. Understanding human behavior in the context of social, political, economic, and other stresses related to climate change.
5. Indicators and early warnings of risks to national security from changing climate.
6. Capacity building across the intelligence community.
7. Other assistance, resources, or capabilities that the sponsoring entities deem necessary with respect to supporting the duties and responsibilities of the Climate Security Advisory Council.
