Environmentalist Stewart Brand has said, “Dealing with climate change … ‘involves a level of global cooperation that has never happened and the mechanisms for [which] are not in sight.’” Since the 4th IPCC Assessment Report in 2007, national and international security organizations have increasingly recognized global warming as a threat to security, and they have increasingly drawn upon the knowledge of climate change and its environmental impacts developed by the global research community.

Security concerns center on forecasts of climate-related natural disasters such as flooding, cyclones and drought, and their impacts on food, fresh water, and infrastructure. Such events and their consequent impacts on human disease and migration, could pose significant stresses on vulnerable nations in coming years.

The Asia-Pacific region is especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate-related global change. Sound planning to mitigate, adapt and respond to these challenges will depend on sound science to characterize the threat and to evaluate alternative approaches. There is an important need for more effective collaboration and knowledge exchange across research and policy communities.

This presentation will examine the evolving impacts of increasing scientific knowledge about climate change on regional security policy in the Asia-Pacific region. It will evaluate the need and opportunity for multilateral and cross-sectoral collaboration to address the security issues emergent with climate-related global change. It will discuss some potential ways forward for the region, based on evolving perspectives of research and policy within the U.S. science and policy community.
