The Asia-Pacific Climate Security Project, undertaken by IGES, has focused on examining the diverse risks posed by climate change, with a particular focus on those that could evolve into security threats. Risks associated with climate change that are commonly imagined include increased and intensified typhoons and floods, and health impacts from heatwaves, in Japan, or the rise in wildfires in other countries. On the other hand, discussions on the security dimension of climate change have primarily occurred, not within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), but rather in forums such as the United Nations Security Council and the United Nations General Assembly. Security-related risks frequently discussed include the potential link between climate change and conflict or existential threats to island nations due to sea-level rise. However, climate security, which lacks a dedicated forum for discussion akin to the UNFCCC, remains an ambiguous field where international consensus on its substantive content is yet to be established. Against this background, IGES's efforts have involved surveying and researching the current state of climate change measures and the understanding of climate security in the Asia-Pacific region, with the aim of considering how climate security can be effectively positioned as a concept and policy area. In this session, we will report on the progress and challenges of the Asia-Pacific Climate Security Project, which is entering its final year.
