Climate and Maritime Security

Climate change is one of the most pressing security concerns in the Indo-Pacific: the crisis not only threatens island nations’ stability, but also their very existence. Is there consensus among islands and bigger neighbors on climate change as a security threat? How do the differences in security conceptions affect collaboration and the approach to climate change and maritime security in the Indo-Pacific?
