Climate Security in the Anthropocene / The Anthropocene: Politik-Economics-Society-Science Bd.33 (PDF)

with a particular focus on the entanglement of securitizing moves and political power, as well as on the securitization of climate change in different national settings. He has also looked at the European Union and has explored whether and how the EU has contributed to global climate (in)justice and how narratives of ontological (in)security connect to different forms of solidarity in Europe. Besides appearing in Geopolitics, the Journal of International Relations and Development, Political Geography and in the Zeitschrift für Internationale Beziehungen (ZIB), two of his books deal with the linkages between climate change and security: The Securitisation of Climate Change and the Governmentalisation of Security (Palgrave, 2020), and The Securitisation of Climate Change: Actors, Processes and Consequences (Routledge, 2016, together with Thomas Diez and Zehra Wellmann).



Adrien Estève is a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for International Studies (CERI-CNRS- Sciences Po Paris) and a resident at the Institute for Strategic Research (IRSEM). His research focuses on the implications of security and defence actors in defence policies, on the emergence of international forums and networks on climate security, and on the evolution of forms of conflict (lawfare). He oversees the research seminar "Environment and International Relations" at CERI. He was also a visiting scholar at Columbia University for the academic year 2017-2018 and again in April 2019. His research studies the involvement of military actors in climate change governance, and his latest article focuses more specifically on the French armed forces.

Nicholas Simpson is a Senior Advisor at the Global Centre for Climate Mobility and is the Lead for Knowledge & Practice at the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative. He holds research association with the University of Cape Town. His complex climate risk framework underpins the new risk framework of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 6th Assessment and is being used to guide climate risk assessment by a diversity of security actors including the Belgian government's National Security Council and research planning on energy security by the U.S. Department of Energy. His previous research extended security studies to explore how and why resilience has been employed as a means of understanding and responding to unanticipated and severe Anthropocene events. He is a Lead Author on the Africa chapter of the IPCC and a member of the extended writing team of the IPCC Synthesis Report. He is an Associate Editor for the journal Climate Risk Management. The recently published, Criminology and Climate, (Routledge) features his work on Insurance in the Anthropocene.
