The CCASCOE Brief is a recurring climate security series published six times a year. Each edition offers a clear and accessible synthesis of complex climate security issues from a multitude of perspectives and for a broad audience of climate security specialists, experts, professionals, practitioners, policy- and decision-makers, and all who are interested in how climate change intersects and transforms security and defence.
This publication promotes multidisciplinarity and a diverse range of academic and practical expertise. It is conceived and built as a space for the dissemination and coproduction of knowledge at the intersection of science and policy. As a science-policy nexus, it translates expert insights into accessible language both to foster the cross-pollination of ideas across domains and to better navigate the challenges of climate security and defence.
