profoundly affected by changing environmental conditions. Climate disruption, access to affordable and clean water, food and energy, are among the factors that can impact both the health and stability of individuals and their communities. Small environmental changes can trigger economic, political, and social upheavals and drive population movements. Nations are beginning to integrate such environmental factors into decisions regarding defense, diplomacy, and development.<br><br>The <a href="http://www.ncseonline.org">National Council for Science and the Environment's</a> (NCSE's) Environment and Security Conference will address these issues through various sessions featuring expert speakers. These cross-cutting themes will be explored in three plenary sessions on Wednesday, January 18th, with experts from a wide range of fields, as well as in fascinating symposia on Wednesday afternoon, and interactive breakout workshops on Thursday, January 19.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in;background:white;vertical-align:baseline;border-style:initial;border-color:initial;outline-width: 0px;outline-style: initial;outline-color: initial;text-align:-webkit-auto'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'><br></span><span style='color:black'><a href="http://www.environmentandsecurity.org/topics/view/73357/"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Click here to view the full conference agenda.</span> </a></span><o:p></o:p></p></td></tr></table></div><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><br></span><b><u><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Symposia and Breakout Workshops</span></u></b><o:p></o:p></p><div align=center><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td style='border:solid #C00000 1.5pt;padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt'><p class=MsoNormal><b><u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><a href="http://www.environmentandsecurity.org/topics/view/73965/" target="_blank">The Rio+20 Earth Summit: Green Economy and Global Governance:</a></span></u></b><u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><br>Moderator:</span></u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Jacob Scherr, Natural Resources Defense Council<br><u>Additional Discussants:</u> Celeste Connors, Director for Environment Affairs, National Security Council (other panelists TBA)</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><b><u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><a href="http://www.environmentandsecurity.org/topics/view/73967/" target="_blank">Powering America: How the Department of Defense Can Drive Innovation for Clean Energy Technology (Part 1):</a></span></u></b><u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><br>Moderator:</span></u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Marcus King, Associate Research Professor, The George Washington University</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><b><u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><a href="http://www.environmentandsecurity.org/topics/view/73976/" target="_blank">Addressing Environmental Risks and Opportunities in Conflict Prevention, Peacekeeping, and Peacebuilding Strategies:</a><br></span></u></b><u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Moderator:</span></u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> David Jensen, Head of Programme: Environmental Cooperation for Peacebuilding, United Nations Environment Programme<br><u>Additional Discussants</u>: Carl Bruch, Senior Attorney and Co-Director of International Programs, Environmental Law Institute; Erika Weinthal, Associate Professor of Environmental Policy, Duke University<br><br><b><u><a href="http://www.environmentandsecurity.org/topics/view/73977/" target="_blank">The Food-Water-Energy Nexus:</a><br></u></b><u>Moderator:</u> Jeff Seabright, Vice President of Environment & Water Resources, The Coca-Cola Company<br><u>Additional Discussants</u>: Samantha Gross, Director, Cambridge Energy Research Associate (other discussants TBA)<br><br><b><u><a href="http://www.environmentandsecurity.org/topics/view/73978/" target="_blank">Safe, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities:</a></u></b><br><u>Moderator:</u> Alan D.
