Protestors from mainland China find more favorable conditions in Hong Kong, where there is greater freedom to express grievances without interference from authorities and protests are more likely to be covered by media outlets.

Three BAU approaches to climate change and security:

  • In the Arctic the Russians (and the Americans) are coming;
  • Europe’s migration crisis is nothing compared to the likely South Asian version; and
  • The devil is in the details of the climate-food-security nexus.

Meanwhile in the Netherlands (and Pakistan) courts are asserting climate security rights of citizens against governmental inaction. Soon, governments will take the same tactic re other climate to coerce climate sleep-walker states.


The Nautilus Peace and Security Weekly Report presents articles and full length reports each week in six categories: Austral security, nuclear deterrence, climate change and security, the DPRK, climate change adaptation and governance and civil society. Our team of contributors carefully select items that highlight the links between these themes and the three regions in which our offices are found — North America, Northeast Asia, and the Austral-Asia region.
