Climate Change and North Korea

Security concerns relating to North Korea are often confined to Pyongyang’s belligerence, the ongoing development of its nuclear and missile programmes, and the country’s atrocious human rights record. Much less attention has been paid to the impact of climate change. At this event we will be joined by four experts who have considered how North Korea is dealing with climate change, as well as the impact this could have on both domestic and foreign policy. We will explore how climate change implications relate to conventional security risks, and what this might mean for existing international policies designed to mitigate security threats from North Korea.

The event will be recorded and will be available online shortly afterwards. This event is kindly funded by the UniKorea Foundation.

Chair: Cristina Varriale, Research Fellow, Proliferation and Nuclear Policy, RUSI
