Environmental Security
The Environmental Security program explores the intersections of resource management and enforcement with regional and international security. The increasingly complex and transnational drivers of environmental theft and degradation – from booming populations that create unsustainable demand to transnational organized crime – fuel geopolitical tensions, finance conflict, and compromise economic development. Through its engagement with unconventional stakeholders, Stimson works to identify the roots of these threats to peace and stability and put forward innovative and networked solutions.
