FOREWORD security is the disarmament policy of the future.” “Environmental Klaus Toepfer, the executive director of the UN Environment Programme, chose the Woodrow Wilson Center’s Environmental Change and Security Project (ECSP) to deliver this message. Why? Because he believes it is the “leading institute for environmental security in the United States.” Since its founding in 1994, ECSP has explored the relationships among environment, population, disease, economic development, migration, political stability, and violent conflict. Over the last 10 years, more than 250 ECSP meetings have drawn academics, policymakers, and practitioners to the Woodrow Wilson Center to welcome luminaries such as Gro Harlem Brundtland, Warren Christopher, Jane Goodall, Mikhail Gorbachev, Jeffrey Sachs, and General Anthony Zinni. The ECSP Report’s nine issues, distributed to 7,000 people around the world annually, have shattered the disciplinary boundaries separating environment, population, and security. This 10th anniversary issue celebrates ECSP’s legacy and looks forward to the new challenges facing this exciting field. The ECSP Report, the only forum dedicated to showcasing environmental security, has transformed concepts of conflict and peace. In its pages, leading scholars have debated theoretical underpinnings, honed methodological approaches, and evaluated empirical evidence. In this issue’s special commentary section, “From Planting Trees to Making Peace: The Next Steps for Environment, Population, and Security,” Jared Diamond, Margaret Brusasco- Mackenzie, Erika Weinthal, Richard Cincotta, Roger-Mark De Souza, and Richard Matthew and Bryan McDonald honor ECSP’s contributions to the field by outlining their visions for the next 10 years. Like the Woodrow Wilson Center’s namesake, ECSP bridges the chasm between academic theorizing and practical policymaking. Beltway insiders turn out to quiz big thinkers, and professors and practitioners meet political players on neutral ground. ECSP was among the first to systematically shine a light on nascent U.S. policy efforts in environmental security by publishing reports from former Vice President Albert Gore’s State Failure Task Force and the CIA’s National Intelligence Council. Continuing this long tradition, ECSP Report 10 includes three papers—on water, climate change, and natural resources—commissioned by the United Nations Foundation for the Secretary-General’s High-Level Panel on Threats, Challenges, and Change, which Kofi Annan charged with recommending effective collective responses to the world’s security problems. As described by the Secretary-General, the universe of threats to peace includes a multitude of interdependent variables. Large youth populations, water pollution, HIV/AIDS, climate change: all of these factors, and more, could reduce human security and potentially GEOFFREY D.
