Major attention is being paid to if, when, and how a Russian invasion might take place, but there is need for more consideration of: then what? What would it mean for U.S. defense and intelligence programs and strategy going forward? What is Russia likely to do with Ukraine after occupying it? What are potentially unexpected or unanticipated consequences?

Join the Honorable Jim Clapper, former Director of National Intelligence, and Beth E. Sanner, former Deputy Director of National Intelligence for Mission Integration and presidential daily briefer, in conversation with Intelligence Project Director Paul Kolbe on these long-term questions relating to the rapidly-evolving Ukraine situation. This event is open to the public and registration is required. Content cannot be attributed to a speaker without obtaining permission.

Climate Change, Intelligence, and Global Security is a half-day conference co-sponsored by the Intelligence Project and the Environment and Natural Resources Program at Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs along with the Center for Climate and Security. 

Headlined by John Kerry, Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, the conference will directly follow the April 22/23 Earth Day Leaders Climate Summit, and will emphasize the critical need for international cooperation and global leadership to collectively address the security threats posed by the climate crisis. We will convene senior climate experts, current and former intelligence officers, and leaders in the private sector and academia to facilitate productive dialogue and innovative solutions for combating the climate crisis. The four panels will examine climate change from a security perspective, discuss the role of the intelligence community in monitoring and mitigating the threats posed by climate change, explore new ways of thinking about international intelligence cooperation, and examine the role and contributions of the private sector.

This conference is virtual, open to the public, and free to attend.  Advanced registration is required. Please register individually for each session.
