As part of the partnership, ECSP has worked on a series of case studies with NOAA and UCAR to develop a framework for better anticipating and mitigating the security risks exacerbated by climate change. The Wilson Center launched a partnership with NOAA and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) in 2017 to do just that. “We need analyses and decision-making processes that allow us to better understand dynamic interactions between climate, insecurity, and migration,” said Lauren Risi, Director of the Wilson Center Environmental Change and Security Program at a recent Wilson Center event on the converging risks of climate, insecurity, and migration in Central America. This framing acknowledges that climate can interact with existing political, social, and demographic conditions to heighten communities’ security risks-which in turn suggests that problem-solving in the face of these risks must be interdisciplinary. The idea of climate change as a “threat multiplier” has been gaining steam since it was first proposed roughly 15 years ago.
