The Geopolitical Consequences of Climate Change

Climate change is forcing a rethink of the strategic frameworks and assumptions that underlie security policies, as sea levels and temperatures rise. The responses to climate change are also changing the landscape for foreign and security policymakers, with various resources, institutions, and technologies rising or falling in importance. This project analyzes what security means in a 21st century defined by climate change.

Sustainability, Climate, and Geopolitics

The Sustainability, Climate, and Geopolitics Program explores how climate change and the responses to it are changing international politics, global governance, and world security. Our work covers topics from the geopolitical implications of decarbonization and environmental breakdown to the challenge of building out clean energy supply chains, alternative protein options, and other challenges of a warming planet.
