Abstract/Summary:
The Converging Risks Lab of the Council on Strategic Risks (CSR) released a landmark report, The Security Threat That Binds Us, that identifies ecological disruption as a major and underappreciated security threat and United States to reboot its national security architecture and doctrine to better respond to this evolving threat landscape. Ongoing stresses to critical Earth systems, including to water, food, wildlife, forests and fisheries, heightens the risks of future pandemics, conflict, political instability,  loss of social cohesion, economic harm, and other security outcomes.
