“We are working to be a leader and a bold innovator in environmental stewardship, energy efficiency and energy security,” Panetta said at a reception hosted in his honor by the ">Environmental Defense Fundat the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.
While the topic of climate change has been hugely politicized in recent years, Panetta cast the issue as a serious security crisis. “In the 21st century, we recognize that climate change can impact national security — ranging from rising sea levels, to severe droughts, to the melting of the polar caps, to more frequent and devastating natural disasters that raise demand for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief,” he said.
