    In November, New Security Beat launched a new series, “Uncharted Territory: The Next 25 Years of Environment, Health, and Security.” In the most read post of November, Kayly Ober’s contribution to the special series offers creative policy solutions to the climate migration debate.

    In the 2nd most read post, Brigitte Hugh looks at whether the glass is half full when it comes to pairing innovative technologies with protecting global water resources.

    November 6th marked the United Nations’ International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict. Wim Zwijnenberg writes that the environment has become a hostage of armed conflict, but it could also be a source of collective action and a tool for peacebuilding.

    In our Foresight for Action series, Marcus King and Mckenna Coffey explore the ecosystem, transnational, and political vulnerabilities in the Horn of Africa that are heightened by climate events, and the importance of integrating an understanding of cascading risks into early warning.

    The impacts of climate change are becoming apparent right now in the Arctic faster than anywhere else. In the 5th most read post, Shawn Archbold writes that urgent action is needed to protect Arctic communities and the infrastructure on which they depend.
