Increasing threats, such as climate change, and other operational challenges are driving an immediate need to improve the resiliency of our military installations and the communities that surround them. The importance of creating the right balance between the built environment and the natural environment has never been stronger. Together, we must be prepared to advocate for, develop and deliver nature-based solutions that will help prepare our installations for the growing vulnerabilities they face. As we look to the future of sustainable and resilient solutions, we must draw together the best of government, industry, academia and non-profit organizations to establish an “ecosystem of innovation” to intentionally align natural and engineering processes and ultimately push the limits of what is possible.
