The Council on Strategic Risks (CSR) is dedicated to anticipating, analyzing and addressing core systemic risks to security in the 21st century, with special examination of the ways in which these risks intersect and exacerbate one another.
The Center for Climate and Security (CCS) is a non-partisan institute of the CSR, and the only institution exclusively focused on the intersection of climate and security. CCS envisions a world which recognizes that climate change threats to security are significant and unprecedented, and acts to address those threats in a manner that is commensurate to their scale, consequence and probability.
The Converging Risks Lab (CRL) is a research and policy development-oriented program designed to study converging, cross-sectoral risks in a rapidly-changing world. The CRL brings together experts from within the CSR’s distinct institutes, and from multiple sectors of the security community, to ask forward-thinking questions about these converging risks, and to develop anticipatory solutions.
The Janne E. Nolan Center on Strategic Weapons (The Nolan Center) is a non-partisan institute of the CSR that seeks to analyze and address the development, diffusion and use of strategic weapons. The Nolan Center recognizes that nuclear, biological, chemical and other strategic weapons threats are rising in the international security landscape.
One year after the invasion, this briefer reassesses the war’s implications for the energy transition, as well as global climate, ecological and food security.
For countries and communities reliant on ocean resources, the combined ramifications of habitat destruction, biodiversity loss, pollution, resource depletion, and the mounting effects of global climate change could be considerable, jeopardizing the livelihoods, security, and welfare of millions of people.
The Center for Climate and Security is pleased to announce its 2023 class of Ecological Security Fellows. This initiative is a part of CCS’s Ecological Security Program, supported by the VK Rasmussen Foundation.
