Course Introduction
Environmental security examines threats posed by environmental events and trends to individuals, communities or nations. It considers the abilities of individuals, communities or nations to cope with environmental risks, changes or conflicts, or limited natural resources. Human activity impacts CO2 emissions, impacting regional and global climatic and environmental changes and thus changes in agricultural output. This can lead to food shortages which will then cause political debate, ethnic tension, and civil unrest.
Environmental security underpins the rationale for investment in global environmental benefits, and is essential to maintain the earth’s life-supporting ecosystems generating water, food, and clean air. Reducing environmental security risks also depends fundamentally on improving resource governance and social resilience to natural resource shocks and stresses. The environment is better protected in the absence of conflict and in the presence of stable, effective governance.
Conflicts over natural resources and the environment are among the greatest challenges in 21st-century geopolitics. These conflicts present serious threats to human security at both the national and local levels. Many of the considerations and approaches in this course are also relevant to understanding and addressing social conflicts around natural resources and the environment. Therefore, by attending this program, participants will have opportunities to analyse environmental security threats, explore solutions, and create long-lasting networks of security policy professionals.
