The Environmental Change and Security Program (ECSP) is one of several programs and projects that make up the Global Resilience and Sustainability Program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. ECSP was founded in 1994 to study the connections among environmental, health, population dynamics and their links to conflict, human insecurity, and foreign policy.[1]
Activities
ECSP holds events and publishes research and multimedia content aiming to connect scholars, policymakers, the media, and practitioners. The program currently has three primary topical focus areas:[1]
Integrated Development: The intersection of population-health-environment issues in developing countries as well as global population dynamics such as urbanisation, youth bulges, and migration.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
Environment, Conflict, and Security: The role of natural resources in conflict and peace building, and climate change in the security context.[8]
Water: Water's potential to spur conflict and cooperation, its social and economic value, and its relationship to health and disease.[9]
