RSVP HERE

The Stimson Center cordially invites you to join our 2013 Environment and Security Discussion Series. The series brings together the Washington, D.C. area’s leading thinkers for an open exchange of ideas and views on the deepening links between environmental and security concerns, and a discussion of the growing relevance of the environment-security nexus to national and international policy.

Speakers:
Jeffrey Colgan, Assistant Professor, School of International Service, American University

David Michel, Director, Environmental Security Program, Stimson Center

Moderator:
Ellen Laipson, president and CEO, Stimson Center

Colgan is an expert on oil geopolitics and author of the newly published "Petro-Aggression: When Oil Causes War" (Cambridge University Press, 2013). Michel is the co-author/editor of several recent reports on natural resource challenges in the Middle East, South Asia, and the Indian Ocean. The event’s discussion will center on how states’ development of natural resources impacts their foreign policy, human security, and political and social stability. What are the geopolitical and environmental implications of growing demands for the world’s natural resources – energy, water, food? We hope you will join us for what promises to be an engaging conversation on current resource development trends, international security, and environmental sustainability.
