Promoting environmental security analysis

Description

Promoting environmental security analysis involves systematically assessing environmental risks and vulnerabilities that threaten human well-being, economic stability, and geopolitical peace. This strategy prioritizes integrating environmental data into policy and decision-making, enabling early identification of potential conflicts and resource scarcities. By fostering cross-sector collaboration and developing targeted risk mitigation plans, it aims to prevent environmental degradation, reduce disaster impacts, and enhance resilience, thereby addressing root causes of insecurity and supporting sustainable development.

Context

"Environmental security analysis," adds an environmental dimension to regional security questions. It expands the existing terms for regional security—political, socio-economic, military disparities, cross-border tensions—to consider environmental factors.
