00:46.230 --> 00:48.580
climate change . Just last year , we

00:51.030 --> 00:53.810
analysis focused on the geo strategic

00:53.810 --> 00:55.810
and mission implications of climate

00:55.810 --> 00:58.630

00:58.630 --> 01:01.210
climate adaptation plan , our roadmap

to ensure the department maintains the

01:03.377 --> 01:05.266
ability to operate under changing

01:05.266 --> 01:08.020

01:15.006 --> 01:17.270
goals . Those documents plus climate

01:17.270 --> 01:19.530
plans for each of our military services

01:19.540 --> 01:21.890
