Activities

ECSP holds events and publishes research and multimedia content aiming to connect scholars, policymakers, the media, and practitioners. The program currently has three primary topical focus areas:[1]

    youth bulges, and migration.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
  2. Environment, Conflict, and Security: The role of natural resources in conflict and peace building, and climate change in the security context.[8]
  3. Water: Water's potential to spur conflict and cooperation, its social and economic value, and its relationship to health and
    disease.[9]

Publications

ECSP produces a series of program reports as well as the FOCUS series of short briefs on integrated population, health, and environment programs.
