Climate, Crisis and Security Network

The purpose of the network is to develop the rapidly growing field of research that links climate, crisis and security studies at the Swedish Defence University.

The network consists primarily of researchers at the Swedish Defence University who focus on various aspects of climate-related issues, such as climate resilience, sustainability, climate adaptation, environmental security, disaster studies and crisis management.

The network provides a key space to share new ideas, collaborate on research projects and make connect with other scolars as well as practitioners working on climate and environmental issues. The network regularly invites experts to give talks and open lectures.
