## Program areas at The Council on Strategic Risks
The center for climate and security ("ccs") - ccs is a non-partisan institute of csr with a team and distinguished advisory board of security and military experts. Ccs envisions a climate-resilient world which recognizes that climate change threats to security are significant and unprecedented, and acts to address those threats in a manner that is commensurate to their scale, consequence and probability. To further this goal, ccs facilitates policy development processes and dialogues, provides analysis, conducts research, communicates to The public, and acts as a resource hub in The climate and security field. For more, visit The ccs website.
The converging Risks lab ("crl") - crl is a research and policy development-oriented program designed to study converging, cross-sectoral Risks in a rapidly-changing world. The crl will bring together experts from within The csr's distinct institutes, and from multiple sectors of The security community, to ask forward-thinking questions about these converging Risks, and to develop anticipatory solutions. The lab currently includes The climate-nuclear-security project.
