Research

CLISEC conducts multi-disciplinary research on the potential security risks, social instabilities and conflicts induced by global environmental change and on possible strategies for international cooperation, conflict management and sustainable peace.

Our analysis is based on an integrated framework of the linkages and feedbacks between climate change, natural resources, human needs and societal stability. Current research focuses on the development of data and modeling tools suitable to assess and stabilize the climate-society interaction on global and local scales, with a specific emphasis on regional climate hot spots.
