In 2017/18, for the eighth time in a row, the KonradAdenauer-Foundation (KAS) supported the Fellowship in Energy Security at EUCERS. This year we welcomed Dr Simon Chin-Yee, who submitted a meticulously researched paper on how climate change impacts human security, titled “Climate change and human security: Case studies linking vulnerable populations to increased security risks in the face of the global climate challenge”.
The topic could hardly be timelier given the increasing manifestations of climate change and the ways it impacts human security, be they more apparent such as extreme wildfires and record temperatures or more subtle in the form of creeping desertification.
