GreenPolicy360, in association with Strategic Demands, continues to visualize Environmental Security as a critical field of global concern, study and development.

Our work focuses on three strategic currents:

Environmental Security as a field enabled by the rapidly developing Internet, connecting and bringing together 'netizens', science and political ideas which are newly defining and developing security concepts, objectives and goals

Environmental Security as an interdisciplinary scientific venture — a challenge for traditional disciplines as global climate change/global warming, biosphere sustainability and related threat environments demand solutions across national borders and scientific fields of study

Environmental Security as a recent element of earth exploration — earth systems/resources observation/monitoring by newly formed “New Space” companies and next generation earth-facing satellites. Planet APIs are being developed — the results of new ways of seeing will change concepts of citizenship.

The Internet-enabled world is connecting billions and these 'netizens' are seeing and experiencing a networked, interactive world in new ways that are redrawing old orthodoxies and traditional points of view. A 360° global perspective is presenting new opportunities and challenges as the trend toward engagement with knowledge delivered via 'the Net' gathers momentum and accelerates.

It is the considered opinion of GreenPolicy360, as we explore #topics and #keyphrases such as #Earth360 #PlanetCitizen #EarthPOV and link the integral ecology of #environmentalsecurity to #nationalsecurity, that we are advancing a field of study and a field that will change the way 'national security' has defined over centuries.

A multi-lateral, multi-dimensioned world is in the process of coming to be -- and the concept of defining 'new definitions of national security' and 'green best practices' is at the center of our policy concerns.

We urge — “strategically demand” — #EarthMonitoring and #EarthScience to be ‘rapidly deployed’ to critically assess, evaluate and provide policy recommendations for essential planetary #EnvironmentalSecurity and resulting #NationalSecurity.

Recent scientific studies of varying urgency have demonstrated a wide range of threats to local/regional/national/international environments. ‘Existential’ questions have become a first-order priority of concern rising to action-demanded status among traditional, historic security concerns.

Earth Science research from space should have a distinctly critical role in security policy.

A shift of emphasis from first-generation command-and-control military and communication applications in space is in process, as demonstrated by newly launched earth-facing programs, earth resource baselines, and acquiring data for #biosphere monitoring and wide-spectrum Environmental Security assessments.
