2011 U.S. Pacific Environmental Security Conference (PESC) held in Honolulu, Hawaii on 14-17 March 2011

Abstract

This year's Pacific Environmental Security Conference, hosted by the Pacific Command J4, opened a new chapter in PACOM's environmental security engagement program, and addressed current internal security issues in the context of the new PACOM Commander, Admiral Willard's, vision for the region. The event brought together 15 Asia-Pacific nations to share their best practices in addressing such important security issues as disaster preparedness, climate change, and water security. The exchange of ideas that resulted, allowed all participants to learn from the experiences of regional states, such as Indonesia, in dealing with catastrophic as well as slow onset environmental threats to security and stability. These proceedings sought to capture those ideas and experiences so that subsequent environmental security conferences may build upon the substantial base created by the sharing of ideas. CSL is honored to have been given the responsibility of preparing these proceedings and looks forward to the results of future conferences.
