“I agree that the effects of a changing climate — such as increased maritime access to the Arctic, rising sea levels, desertification, among others — impact our security situation. I will ensure that the department continues to be prepared to conduct operations today and in the future, and that we are prepared to address the effects of a changing climate on our threat assessments, resources, and readiness.
-James Mattis

  • Facilitate communication and information exchange among members of NMFWA and the DoD interested or involved with climate change effects on natural resources at military installations.
  • Increase awareness of issues related to adaptive management of natural resources in response to climate change at military installations.

The Climate Change Working Group’s objectives are to:
  1. Provide regular communication among members of NMFWA interested in climate change through meetings and workshops, e-mail discussions, newsletters, and other publications.
  2. Promote membership in NMFWA to DOD and other federal, state, Tribal, and non-governmental natural resources professionals interested in climate change.
  3. Provide NMFWA members information and technical assistance on climate change as it pertains to natural resource management, including vulnerability and risk assessments and strategies to promote adaptation and resiliency.
  4. Make recommendations to the NMFWA Board of Directors for specific actions by NMFWA in the area of climate change.
  5. Develop draft technical reviews, position statements, and other materials on climate change for consideration by the NMFWA Board of Directors.
  6. Provide information and technical assistance to government officials, journalists, educators, other organizations, and the general public on adaptive management of natural resources in response to climate change on military installations. The NMFWA website shall be the primary method of disseminating information.
  7. Develop and share strategies for adaptive management of natural resources related to climate change.
