Environmental Security Research Group

Join us in exploring security implications and responses to ecological hazards.

About Us

The Environmental Security Research Group serves as a collaborative platform for security professionals and scholars working on:

  • The security repercussions of shifting environmental norms (from national and international, to human and ecological)

  • The implications of these shifts for providers of 'security' (from armed forces to environmental defenders)

Our goal is to enhance cross-institutional collaboration on education, research, and policy projects, in order to help governments and societies manage, mitigate and adapt to these repercussions.
