Human-induced climate change is one of the central challenges of our time. The relationship between climate and security is a staple of think-tank conversations. Despite immense attention to climate change in the policy world, and despite the issue's intrinsic importance, scholarship among scholars of international security has not kept pace.

The editors wish to give a platform to ongoing cutting-edge scholarship in this arena and to encourage more of it. To that end, Security Studies is issuing a call for both individual papers and special issue/forum proposals at the intersection of climate change and security. Papers and special issues may wish to address, among other questions: how climate changes contributes (or not) to violent conflict, either/both intrastate or interstate; how climate change is (or is not) reshaping conceptions of national security and defense priorities as well as military operations, strategy, and bureaucracy; how climate issues are selectively securitized and with what consequences.

Please submit full individual papers (not proposals) as research articles via the ScholarOne platform, noting in the cover letter that the paper is for consideration as part of the "Climate Change and Security" initiative.

To submit a special forum/issue proposal, please carefully consult and follow our general special forum/issues guidelines and submit the proposal via email to Editor-in-Chief Ron Krebs.
