President Barack Obama will at the end of the day highlight the "impending dangers to our national security" acted by environmental change like some piece of his initiation address at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn., on Wednesday.

These progressions are "adding to expanded regular catastrophes and bringing about compassionate emergencies, and conceivably expanding outcast streams and compounding clashes over essential assets like nourishment and water," the White House said in its announcement Wednesday.
"You are a piece of the original of officers to start your administration in this present reality where the impacts of environmental change are so obviously upon us," Obama arrangements to tell the graduates. "Environmental change will shape how every one of our administrations arrangement, work, prepare, prepare and secure their foundation, today and for the long haul."
