  • VIDEO: Nick Mabey on Climate Change and Security on the Road to Copenhagen

    March 9, 2009 By Wilson Center Staff
    The security community needs to “tell leaders that they won’t be able to guarantee security in a world where we don’t control climate change,” says Nick Mabey in this video from the Environmental Change and Security Program. “Because unless we have the authority of the security establishment and the foreign policy establishment at the table,” he says, “there’s no chance of both delivering the trillions of dollars needed to create a new clean energy economy, but also mak[ing] those tough choices.”

    In this short expert analysis, Nick Mabey, founding director and chief executive of E3G, discusses why security must be at the heart of the upcoming Copenhagen Agreement on Climate Change.

      Additional context on Nick and E3G – one of his co-founders of E3G is John Ashton, now the special representative on climate change for the UK Foreign Office. John was intimately involved with the 2007 UN Security Council special session on climate change and security.
