Comprehensive Security: The Opportunities and Challenges of Incorporating Environmental Threats in Security Policy
Abstract: In security and foreign policy discourse, environmental issues have been discussed increasingly as security threats that require immediate action. Yet, as the traditional security sector does not provide straightforward means to deal with climate change and other environmental issues, this has prompted concerns over undue securitisation and ill-placed extreme measures.
