Population growth. Water scarcity. Degraded ecosystems. Forced migration. Resource depletion. Pandemic disease. Since 1994, the Environmental Change and Security Program (ECSP) has explored the connections among these major challenges and their links to conflict, human insecurity, and foreign policy. Through publications, meetings, and events, ECSP promotes dialogue about the environmental, health, and population dynamics that affect both developing and developed nations. Learn more about ECSP.
ECSP is organized into four topics: Reporters: Browse the Media Room, your one-stop source for ECSP's expert staff and latest news, events, and publications.
