Two years since the Center for Climate and Security released the Climate and Security Plan for America (CSPA) in September 2019, this paper assess the U.S. Government’s progress across the plan’s four pillars and to recommend additional measures. CSPA proposed non-partisan and ambitious policy recommendations for the U.S. This Progress Report is titled “Challenge Accepted” to reflect President Biden’s ambitious prioritization of climate security issues, and the fact that there is considerable work left to be done. Congress and the Trump Administration also made progress in the year before President Biden took office. This assessment incorporates those accomplishments as well.

The recommendations going forward are based on four pillars:

1. Demonstrating leadership: Make climate change a vital national security priority;
2. Assessing climate risks: Take advantage of unprecedented foresight about climate change;
3. Supporting allies and partners: Reinforce U.S. national security and compete on the world stage by bolstering climate resilience abroad; and
4. Preparing for and preventing climate impacts: Build resilience to climate change risks and reduce their scale and scope.
