USAID Climate Programs Fighting Extremism and Unrest Are Closing Down (Gift Article) Heat, drought and floods are growing security risks, Western defense officials say, feeding instability and violence that could prove costly in the long term.

β€œThey were buying down future risk,” said Erin Sikorsky, director of the Center for Climate and Security and a former U.S. intelligence official. β€œInvest a little today so we don’t have to spend a lot in the future when things metastasize.”

Thanks to Somini Sengupta for this important piece.
