10 Executive Summary Climate change is a national security challenge with strategic implications for the Navy. Climate change will lead to increased tensions in nations with weak economies and political institutions. While climate change alone is not likely to lead to future conflict, it may be a contributing factor. Climate change is affecting, and will continue to affect, U.S. military installations and access to natural resources worldwide. It will affect the type, scope, and location of future Navy missions.

17 Educated consumers make better customers.

18 Take NEWSWEEK s Green Rankings, for example: companies that ranked in the top 100 of the 2009 ranking, weighted equally, outperformed the S&P 500 by 4.8 percent over the last two years. These companies are collectively up 15.2 percent, compared to 10.4 percent for the S&P 500. The case gets even stronger when you look for undervalued companies using an analysis of financial metrics, as Value Line performed for us recently. Looking at 30 of the financially strongest of NEWSWEEK s top 100 finds a two year return of 24.1 percent, outperforming the S&P by 14 percent.

19 We are at the tipping point.
