Climate Change, Public Health, and Regional Security in the Indo-Pacific: Chapter 41 - Climate, health, and energy security in the Indo-Pacific: balances between competing regional security priorities

Energy security is closely related to national security, particularly in the realm of energy production and consumption as well as energy transformation capacity (e.g., refinement and storage capabilities). Similarly, environmental and climate and health security have been identified as key drivers of national security and associated national resilience indicators. We explore these dynamics with a focus on the Indo-Pacific region and present potential methods of reconciling competing priorities to ensure regional stability and security.
