Daedalus 149(4), Fall 2020: p.125-138 This essay explores the origins of the 2009 U.S. Navy Task Force Climate Change (TFCC) from the perspective of its founder and initial director. The director's background is described briefly, along with events and actions of Navy leadership that led to creating the TFCC. The essay states five lessons learned within the context of setting the direction and tone for change in a large organization and examines five areas in which the TFCC arguably has made a positive difference to the U.S. Navy. The essay provides an overview of U.S. Navy and national climate-related actions after the author's tenure as director of the TFCC, and concludes by addressing climate change risks within the context of current efforts to understand and manage adverse impacts from the COVID-19 virus. - Reproduced Daedalus CLIMATE CHANGE AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 390429 IIPA IIPA 2021-02-23 149(4), Fall 2020: p.125-138 AR124407 2021-02-23 AR
