Expert Panel

Organised by E3G in cooperation with Chatham House, Brookings Institute, and Institute for Environmental Security, it will feature a presentation by military leaders from a developed as well as developing nation on the likely security impacts of climate change security experts, followed by a view on what the security community is already doing, or thinks needs to be done, in order to guarantee national and global security.

The Expert Panel is made up of:

Major General (ret) Muniruzzaman, President, Bangladesh Institute for Peace and Security Studies

Chaired by:

Tom Spencer, Vice Chairman, Institute for Environmental Security and Project Co-ordinator, Climate Change & the Military

This panel will introduce some of the most innovative and interesting work being done by the security community into the climate change discussions, and promote a discussion of “climate security” in a way that has a focus on broad – and non-military – security concepts (e.g. human security) in an open, honest and pluralistic debate between these policy communities.
