Climate Resilience Subject Matter Expert

Responsibilities

The Department of Defense (DoD) relies upon training and testing lands to maintain mission readiness. Training time and training land availability link directly to capabilities, but without careful management, maintenance, and testing, infrastructure degrades and become of limited use for realistic training. In addition, DoD manages more than 300,000 buildings on some 500 installations throughout the United States. It is critical for DoD to reduce installation energy consumption and carbon footprint, improve energy security, and facilitate water conservation. DoD’s natural and built infrastructure as well as operational capabilities are also at risk of the effects of climate change. The mission of the DoD Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) and the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) is to demonstrate innovative, cost-effective, and sustainable solutions to meet DoD's environmental and installation energy challenges.
