Climate Change and Security in the South Pacific

气候变化对许多太平洋社会和国家来说是危险的，这反过来会给澳大利亚的援助、外交、移民和安全政策带来问题。该项目的实际好处将是增进对气候变化构成的安全风险的了解；以及对管理这些风险所需的气候变化和安全机构的能力和改进方法的了解。该项目的学术效益包括采用与气候影响和环境安全研究相关的新的、多尺度和纵向的方法；该项目将提高澳大利亚在这两个领域的声誉，并促进专业知识的发展。

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.
