1) Why are politicians, businesses and even civil society groups talking about climate change as a security issue in the run up to #COP26? I wrote this primer after 10 years of collaborative research and identify five key concerns with #climatesecurity

2) On one level, talking about climate security makes sense. We all want security, after all. The security of a job, a home, good health, safe streets and yes a safe climate too.
3) The trouble is that security has become one of those weasel words, that means something to everybody. My litmus test is always to ask: Whose security? Who will benefit and who will lose? Security for some is often based on creating insecurity for others.
