Liaison Journal: Call for Authors

The next issue of the Liaison Journal assesses the complex role of climate change as it relates to economic, physical or societal impacts that substantially alter political stability, human security, or national security infrastructure. We seek to examine how governments, militaries, and nongovernmental organizations implement these considerations into their decision-making, and how these organizations can best collaborate to better understand and adapt to a future security environment influenced by a changing climate.

The Liaison Journal seeks articles exploring these questions and more.

• What is the role of the military both nationally, and regionally, to address the impacts of climate change on security?
• How do the increasing impacts of climate change on humanitarian challenges such as food/water insecurity, communicable diseases, migration, and energy shortages shape the security environment of the future? g across NGOs, militaries, and governments?
• What are lessons learned and best practices for integrating the uncertainty of our future climate into decision-making across NGOs, militaries, and governments?

 Submission Deadline: Feb. 13, 2023
