CALL FOR PAPERS: “The Climate Crisis: A Multifaceted Security Paradigm”
The Natolin Climate and Energy Transition Nest is pleased to announce a call for papers for the student-led conference “The Climate Crisis: A Multifaceted Security Paradigm”, which will take place at the College of Europe in Natolin on 17 June 2025.
We are seeking papers relating to a wide range of topics exploring key aspects of security in the age of climate crisis, including, but not limited to:
- Social Security: The stability of societies is increasingly threatened by climate- induced displacement, policy stress on emission intensive industries, and resource scarcity, all of which can fuel social fragmentation.
- Energy Security: The Russian invasion of Ukraine highlights Europe’s dependence on external energy sources, sparking debates on energy sovereignty and the urgency of energy savings as well as transitioning to renewable sources.
- Economic Security: The economic ramifications of climate change disrupt supply chains, exacerbate poverty, and threaten financial stability. Accommodating economic resilience fosters approaches that prioritize sustainable growth, risk diversification, and climate adaptation.
- Food Security: Climate change directly impacts food production, availability, and distribution, heightening the risk of shortages and price volatility. Resilient food supply chains are integral to security strategies.
- Health Security: From heatwaves and air pollution to the spread of vector-borne diseases, climate change poses immediate and long-term threats to public health. Health systems adapt to these challenges, with a focus on prevention, preparedness, and inclusive healthcare access.
The Nest hereby invites 200-to-300-word abstract submissions and CVs of potential participants of the Conference by 31 January 2025 at 11:59 PM CET to energyconference.natolin@coleurope.eu.
