Environmental Security Research Group (ESRG)

The Environmental Security Research Group (ESRG) is a forum for collaboration between the security community and scholars working on issues of environmental security from multiple perspectives across different disciplines. It focuses, in particular, on supporting and developing educational, research and policy-related projects and activities on two key themes: 1- The planetary, international, national and human security repercussions of climate change and biocapacity loss; 2- The opportunities, challenges and limitations for security forces to help governments and societies manage, mitigate and adapt to these repercussions. In bringing scholarly and practitioner expertise together on these issues, the research group aims to support security sector reform efforts to create sustainable, rule-of-law based security assistance for the proliferating environmental crises facing the world.
