Environmental Security

Expanding populations, shifting consumption patterns, growing energy use, and the mounting resource demands of modern society are imposing potentially unsustainable strains on the global environment.  Stimson research and analysis on environmental security explores the risks that rising stresses on global ecosystems and shared natural resources could compromise economic development, fuel social conflicts, and undermine political stability.  Stimson's work encompasses issues including climate pressures on water supplies and food security; natural disasters and environmental refugees; and collective institutions for cooperative environmental governance.
