A number of other geopolitically thinking environment experts might be lesser known but greater authorities for Friedman to consult. Some include Nigel Purvis of The Brookings Institution and Josh Busby of Harvard University, who penned a short climate and security piece as an input to Kofi Annan's High Level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change. It is reprinted here (PDF) in the Woodrow Wilson Center's Environmental Change and Security Project Report.
The German government issued a climate and security report a few years back. Best to focus on the third chapter by Sebastian Sebastian Oberthür, Dennis Tänzler and Alexander Carius of the Berlin-based Adelphi Research.
The climate-security link will be given more academic treatments this summer at an Oslo workshop of the Global Environmental Change and Human Security Project (GECHS) of the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP).
