Globalization and Security in the Anthropocene

In an era of profound environmental change, the Anthropocene presents unprecedented challenges to global security. This panel will explore the intricate connections between globalization and security within the context of the Anthropocene, where human activities have become the dominant influence on the Earth's systems. As global interconnectedness intensifies, so do the vulnerabilities and risks associated with climate change, resource depletion, and environmental degradation.
The discussion will delve into how globalization exacerbates these security risks, particularly in vulnerable regions where the impacts of environmental change are most severe. Panelists will examine national and international security implications, considering climate-induced migration, conflicts over dwindling resources, and the shifting geopolitical landscape.
Additionally, the panel will address the role of international cooperation and policy in mitigating these risks, highlighting the importance of adaptive strategies and sustainable practices. By bringing together experts in environmental studies, political science, and security, this panel aims to foster a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between globalization and security in the Anthropocene and to explore innovative approaches for safeguarding the future of our planet.
