GreenPolicy360 Siterunner: In the mid 1970s your GreenPolicy360 founder studied with Robert Heilbroner at the Graduate Faculty of the New School in New York.
Professor Heilbroner was a visionary thinker and his work, along with others in economics and political economy, helped to shape my personal work and subsequent eco-nomic thinking over the past decades.
Here, as we discussed back in the 20th Century (literally) Professor Heilbroner speaks of "Environmental Security" by Norman Myers:
"Norman Myers seems to me to be closer to the realities of the global environmental problem than anyone else. He has been everywhere. He has seen everything. He is an encyclopedia of astonishing facts, many of them pessimistic. He is simultaneously a source of infectious hopefulness. He sees the environmental prospect in its full awesome dimensions. He sees, as well, what we can do as individuals. I do not see how anyone can claim to be informed about what is probably humanity's single most important problem without having read 'Ultimate Security' -- Robert Heilbroner
Again, thinking of how respective ideas are passed from one generation to the next ...

Here's is a quick look back at the beginnings of this field of thought within security studies, via Norman Myers in the 1990s.
ENVIRONMENTAL SECURITY: WHAT'S NEW AND DIFFERENT?
by Norman Myers -- http://www.envirosecurity.org/conference/working/newanddifferent.pdf
"Few threats to peace and survival of the human community are greater than those posed by the prospects of cumulative and irreversible degradation of the biosphere on which human life depends. True security cannot be achieved by mounting buildup of weapons (defence in a narrow sense), but only by providing basic conditions for solving non-military problems which threaten them. Our survival depends not only on military balance, but on global cooperation to ensure a sustainable environment."
From Publishers Weekly:
Just as the Cold War has dominated the last four decades, environmental conflicts will become the "principle threat to security and peace" in the years ahead, argues Myers ( Future Worlds ). In a provocative description of the new concept of environmental security, which he helped establish, the author offers much evidence that environmental factors--from deforestation and desertification to global warming and ozone depletion--will loom larger in world affairs. His book is chockablock with recent portents: how loss of topsoil in the Philippines pushed citizens to the guerrilla side; how Britain and Iceland nearly clashed over marine fisheries; how the threatened cut-off of water flows from rivers outside its borders helped cause Israel's 1967 war against the Arabs. Looking ahead, Myers examines major international regions and predicts loss of stability or out-and-out conflict over natural resource-related issues in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Indian subcontinent and elsewhere. The number of "environmental refugees" alone could reach 400 million, he claims, as the greenhouse effect kicks in, causing higher sea levels and flooding. The author urges United States-led collective action by the world's nations.
Siterunner note: The UN in 2015/2016 estimates refugees at 65+ million due to environmental/economic disruption and war
