The 2020-2021 Foreign Policy Forum Series is
presented by Hitachi Healthcare Americas. Climate change is one area
where politics, economics, and science come together to create an
all-encompassing challenge that must be met by leaders worldwide.
Unfortunately, it is clear that the causes, effects, and policies
needed to counter climate change are a point of contention, as
everything regarding climate change has become politically divisive.
Global issues require global responses and there is no agreement on
whether or how the international community can coordinate approaches
to the many challenges involving energy, environment, and fiscal
responsibilities. Molly Williamson, a retired Foreign Service
Officer and current scholar with the Middle East Institute, will
explore key factors confounding policy makers and political leaders,
both foreign and domestic.
Molly Williamson is a retired Foreign Service
Officer, who served six different presidents, and achieved the rank
of Career Minister. Williamson speaks extensively on energy,
economic and demographic factors affecting foreign policy
formulation, US-Middle East relations, especially regional unrest,
the Israel-Palestine conflict, Iran and nuclear challenges, and the
interagency process.
She is a scholar with the Middle East Institute and the National
Council on US-Arab Relations, a consultant, and frequent guest
lecturer at Johns Hopkins University, the Defense Institute of
Security Cooperation, and the National Joint Staff College.
Williamson has had a unique combination of policy positions in four
Cabinet departments in the U.S. government as well as numerous
diplomatic assignments in and about the Middle East. Williamson was
the Senior Foreign Policy Advisor to the Secretary of Energy with
global responsibilities at the nexus of foreign policy and energy
policy.
