New Swedish initiative to highlight climate-security links

Stockholm Resilience Centre (SRC) joins collaboration with the Stockholm Environment Institute, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute and Stockholm International Water Institute.

A Stockholm based cross-institutional knowledge hub on the security implications of climate change was launched during the 2018 World Water Week in Stockholm. The hub, called the Stockholm Climate Security Hub, will provide science based support for managing climate-related security risks and is supported by the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and builds on the complementary strengths of the three institutions.

"The Swedish Government has put climate security on the agenda of the UN Security Council the last year, so this new hub will provide the four research institutes with a very interesting opportunity to contribute with our science to ongoing work in the whole UN system," says Victor Galaz, associate professor in political science and SRC deputy director.
