Climate Change and Security in the South Pacific

气候变化对许多太平洋社会和国家都是危险的，这将给澳大利亚的援助、外交、移民和安全政策带来问题。该项目的实际效益将是提高人们对气候变化带来的安全风险的认识；以及对管理这些风险所必需的气候变化和安全机构的能力和改进方法的了解。智力上的好处包括：在气候影响和环境安全研究中应用一种新颖的、多尺度的、纵向的方法；该项目将提高澳大利亚在这两个领域的声誉，并提高专业知识。

Climate change is dangerous to many Pacific societies and countries, which will in turn generate problems for Australian aid, diplomatic, immigration and security policy. The practical benefits of this project will be improved understanding of the security risks that climate change poses; and knowledge about the capacity of, and ways to improve, the climate change and security institutions that are necessary to manage these risks. The intellectual benefits include the application of a novel, multi-scale and longitudinal approach of relevance to both climate impacts and environmental security research; the project will enhance Australia's reputation, and advance expertise, in both these fields.
