About Sherri Goodman

Sherri Goodman is a renowned leader in the intersection of national security, climate change, and public policy. A former Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Environmental Security, she helped the U.S. military re-define how environmental risk and energy transitions integrate into global security strategy.

About the Book Talk

In Threat Multiplier, Goodman takes readers inside the Pentagon and onto the global battlegrounds of climate and security. She explains how climate change is more than an environmental concern—it is a powerful force reshaping military strategy, international diplomacy, energy systems, and the stability of nations.

Sherri will explore:

• Why “climate as security threat” matters and how our world is already responding.

• What her experience in defense policy teaches us about resilience, adaptation, and hope.

• How communities of faith and stewardship can engage meaningfully in this pivotal moment.
