At the Collaborative Institute, we strive to communicate the critical interdependent intersections between oceans, climate and security. The following articles underline these connections and begin to explore the consequences of climate change on human and national security.
What do you think: What happens to human security as resources become more scarce due to climate change? Can the effects of climate change be offset or prevented by timely legislation?
The Collaborative Institute for Oceans, Climate and Security is distinguished by its focus on the intersections of oceans, climate and security, and emerging associated policy and management implications.
Founded at UMass Boston in January 2010, the Collaborative Institute exists to develop and communicate high-value intellectual, policy, and technical expertise to help stabilize the health of our atmosphere, coastal communities and marine ecosystems, and human/national security for all.
It seeks on a global scale to create new strategic opportunities to bring innovation to science, policy and communications.
Visionary, as well as opportunistic and flexible, the Collaborative Institute uses multi-sector engagement as a cornerstone of its work and uses public/private revenue to sustain its mission.
