Abstract

The implications of climate change for global governance should not be ignored. Some of these implications for three international institutions - the UN, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and the EU - who might be described as managers of international security, are considered. A provisional outline of a number of the issues faced by these institutions and an agenda for further research is provided. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that the two main climate change factors that will affect international institutions are the politicization of climate change within the institutional process and whether they have the capacity and the resources needed to address additional climate change concerns. Policy relevance A provisional outline of a number of climate-related issues facing the UN, NATO, and the EU and an agenda for further research is provided. The specific focus is on the role these institutions play as 'managers of international security' on behalf of their members at a time when national and international security requires strong partnerships with other countries.
