Abstract:
"This paper argues for a broader emphasis on sustainable security
and sustainable development, and for examining both opportunities as well
as threats to security. The authors note that many of the significant risks
arising from human and natural interactions do not emerge at global or local
levels, but at intermediate scales. They look at what different conceptual
frameworks have to contribute to our understanding and review lessons
from experience, illustrating where possible with work on water. The
authors conclude by offering implications for an agenda of action, including
interconnected frameworks, coalitions for change, interlocking institutional
arrangements and disaggregated goals and indicators."
