NATO Advanced Research Workshop

“Environmental Change and Human Security: Recognizing and Acting on Hazard Impacts”
June 4-June 7, 2007
(by invitation only)

This workshop addressed the following topical concerns: soil erosion, desertification, water degradation, demographic shifts, food security and agricultural prospects, urbanisation trends, hazard-induced migrations, environmental scarcity and potentially fatal outcomes as they impact on regional stability and suggest environmental and human security impacts.

At its core, human security is about protecting people. This workshop extended the work of various disciplines that suggest that human security is most assured when peoples and communities have sufficiently developed the capacity to avoid conflict, overcome vulnerabilities and positively respond and adapt to environmental change. Thus, this NATO ARW offered concrete solutions that can combat such changing variabilities and conditions.
