AC/UNU Millennium Project Environmental Security: United Nations Doctrine for
Managing Environmental Issues in Military Actions by Joe B. Sills, Jerome C. Glenn, Theodore J. Gordon, Renat Perelet
A three-year international assessment of global changes conducted by
the Millennium Project identified fifteen global challenges facing the
world, reaching into most facets of change, from prospective water shortages
to moral and ethical issues. Of the fifteen challenges, six are environmentally
related. Environmental threats may well outweigh military threats in the
future. This report is an investigation into the roles that might be required
of the UN and related international organizations, as well as the conventions
and protocols that might be involved in the resolution of future threats
to environmental security.
