Report Library

Here you can find all publications written by CSEN experts.

• Regional risk briefs
• Policy papers

All CSEN reports go through an international peer review process.

Regional Risk Briefs & Factsheets

The risk briefs analyse the most pressing climate-security risks in a certain region, as well as entry points for responses. Their content is summarised in the factsheets. You can trust they are written by somebody with real local expertise about the region in question. CSEN experts either come from the region or have years of experience working there.
