Description
Developing a NATO Centre of Excellence [CoE] on Climate and Security is a major Canadian priority, but there has been little study of NATO centres of excellence. What are the best practices? Which designs are most or least effective? While there is much scholarship on climate change and on the impact of climate change on conflict, our network brings expertise to bear on the question of how to design and operate a NATO centre of excellence. This theme will build a dataset of the existing centres of excellence, assess the effectiveness of each, consider how the focus of each centre affects their performance, assess how the specific dynamics of climate security will impact the design the CoE, and then adapt these lessons for the proposed CoE
