If you take the hard numbers, then science is clearly telling us that we're running out of time.

Our vision of a sustainable future will only materialize through action taken today.

In our interdependent world, our neighbors are not only on our street, but can be ten thousand miles away on an island in rising seas.

We have a responsibility to first understand how climate change impacts all peoples of the world. Then, we must consider the individual and collective choices and actions that can move us toward a sustainable future.

The way humanity manages or mismanages its nature-based assets, including pollinators, will in part define our collective future in the 21st century.

Real results will emerge when we realize the power of combined individual actions and voices to effect change.

With Climate Change as a Security Risk, WBGU has compiled a flagship report on an issue that quite rightly is rising rapidly up the international political agenda. The authors pull no punches on the likelihood of increasing tensions and conflicts in a climatically constrained world and spotlight places where possible conflicts may flare up in the 21st century unless climate change is checked. The report makes it clear that climate policy is preventative security policy.
