    Severe water shortages in Cape Town, South Africa, are a signal of what’s to come for other rapidly expanding cities. “We will have more and more events like what happened in Cape Town as populations grow and water demand grows,” said Eric Viala, Director and Chief of Party of the Sustainable Water Partnership, in New Security Beat’s top post for April.

    U.S. power snagged the next two spots: from adjusting U.S. naval strategy in the melting Arctic to trading “food for peace” in the post-war era.  Women on the frontlines of change round out our list: from climate-related displacement to weather-related disasters, empowered women are the key to climate resilience.
