RESEARCH AGENDA
The Climate-Security Nexus: the Globe and Indonesia
The United Nations defines the climate-security nexus as a “threat multiplier,” where climate-related risks do not act in isolation but intersect with social, political, and economic drivers. This framework shifts the focus from purely environmental protection to the preservation of peace, emphasizing how ecological instability undermines the very foundations of the state.
