Climate Change

The Center for Climate and Security (CCS), a non-partisan institute envisions a climate-resilient world which recognizes that climate change threats to security are already significant, unprecedented and potentially existential, and acts to address those threats in a manner that is commensurate to their scale, consequence and probability.

The Center for Climate and Energy Solutions is an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization working to forge practical solutions to climate change.

Policy documents, projects, press releases, opinion pieces and research and reports on the intersection between security, how humans use natural resources, and the impact of the climate crisis on international security.

The Environmental Change and Security Program (ECSP) explores the connections between environmental change, health, and population dynamics and their links to conflict, human insecurity, and foreign policy.

Woodwell Climate Research Center is a leading source of climate science that drives the urgent action needed to solve the climate crisis.

The International Military Council on Climate and Security (IMCCS) is a group of senior military leaders, security experts, and security institutions across the globe dedicated to anticipating, analyzing, and addressing the security risks of a changing climate.

The Climate Institute has been in a unique position to inform key decision-makers, heighten international awareness of climate change, and identify practical ways of achieving significant emissions reductions.

Founded in 1984, the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting sustainable societies. Today, our mission is to advance science-based solutions for climate change, energy, and environmental challenges in order to achieve our vision of a sustainable, resilient, and equitable world.

IISS is an international research institute that provides objective information on military, geopolitical and geo-economic developments that could lead to conflict

The NewClimate Institute for Climate Policy and Global Sustainability is an independent non-profit organisation that aims to develop new ideas on climate policy and to promote their implementation.

SIPRI’s work on climate change and risk provides reliable insights on how climate-related security risks evolve and how they are interlinked and interact with different social, political and economic processes. SIPRI researchers also analyse how different policy organizations are responding to these risks and provide advice on conflict-sensitive adaptation, mitigation strategies and how international efforts for sustaining peace can be achieved.

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to ocean research, exploration, and education.

The Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan fact tank that informs the public about the issues, attitudes and trends shaping the world. They conduct public opinion polling, demographic research, content analysis and other data-driven social science research without taking policy positions.

Climate change affects human security and can increase conflict risk. This issue gained prominence on high level international diplomatic and security policy agendas. Yet still more needs to be done to address risks on the ground. The Planetary Security Initiative (PSI) aims to catalyze action in affected contexts. PSI sets out best practice, strategic entry points and new approaches to reducing climate-related risks to conflict and stability, thus promoting sustainable peace in a changing climate.
