This podcast examines the multifaceted concept of climate security through the lens of various nations and international bodies, particularly the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). It discusses how countries like South Africa, Belgium, the Dominican Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Indonesia, Niger, Russia, the UK, and Vietnam perceive and address climate change as a risk and a security issue, often categorising it into national, human, and ecological security frameworks. The texts explore how these perceptions influence their climate risk responses through domestic policies, defense strategies, and foreign diplomacy, highlighting the increasing trend of integrating climate change into security discussions, despite initial resistance from some nations or concerns about the militarisation of climate change.
The podcast draws on research led by the Climate Risk Lab:
