Environment and security: core ideas and US government initiatives

Article Abstract:

Global environmental issues should be approached through a combination of several disciplines with a focus on long-term strategies. Policymakers should set global environmental goals not only in terms of security issues but also on value-oriented considerations such as aesthetics, human responsibility for the earth and humanitarian issues. It is important to note that the security approach to the environment most often adopted by developed countries only deals with aspects such as instability and conflict in geostrategically important areas.
