Climate Change and Maritime Security: Concerns for the Indo-Pacific

YCAPS is excited to announce the next event in the Community Conversations seminar series in the Iwakuni Community! This event will feature Dr. Robert Mizo of the University of Delhi, who will guide us in a discussion on Climate Change and Maritime Security: Concerns for the Indo-Pacific.

Maritime security is one of the most vulnerable domains of security in the face of changing climate. The physical impacts can derail existing security mechanisms and strategies of countries and collectives. For instance, the Quad's goal of securing a 'free and open Indo-pacific' stands to be disrupted in several ways by the direct and indirect impacts of climate change. This talk aims to analyse these threats and deliberate on ways to cooperate to deal with these challenges in the Indo-pacific region.

This event is free and open to all in the Iwakuni and surrounding communities. refreshments will be provided.
