“I am excited to be joining the Hague Centre for Strategic Studies as an advisor as the Centre is at the forefront of understanding the relationship between our security and the effects of climate change and environmental damage. It is essential that we understand and act to ensure that the security of our citizens is maintained in the turbulent and unpredictable future resulting from climate change and biodiversity loss.”
