Project summary

The Council on Strategic Risks (and its institutes, The Center for Climate & Security and the Converging Risks Lab) has collaborated with Woodwell to lead innovative analyses on the climate dimensions of five countries and regions critical to international security. Co-created by scientists, security analysts, and regional experts, these analyses have informed policymaking through accessible publications and tailored briefings for bipartisan congressional staff as well as defense, diplomatic, and development officials. Accompanied with a storymap, Converging Crises in North Korea: Security, Stability and Climate Change highlights projections of climate impacts on crop yields, inland flooding, and sea level rise in North Korea.
