How Climate Security Risks Shape International Cooperation

Mistra Geopolitics

Mistra Geopolitics presents the 2021 Webinar Series. This webinar deals with the link between climate security risks and conflict.

What do we know about the link between climate security risks and conflict? How are these risks perceived and governed by states and multilateral institutions?The new Biden administration has pledged to make climate change a priority. Joe Biden signed an executive order directing the federal government to make climate change an integral part of its foreign and national security policy. Other countries have pushed multilateral institutions such as the European Union, UN Environment, the UN Security Council or the World Bank to address climate risks for human and national security, and it goes in line with years of thinking within the defence sector. While 2020 and 2016 have been the hottest years on record, the world has also seen an increase in armed conflicts. This free seminar gathers researchers from the Mistra Geopolitics research programme to discuss new evidence on what we know about the link between climate change and conflict and how risks are perceived and governed by states and multilateral institutions.Mistra Geopolitics is a research programme that examines the dynamics of geopolitics, human security, and environmental change.
