Past and Current Efforts to Define and Conceptualize Environmental Security

Though the course of this project's research, it became clear that conceptualizing environmental security was the focus of many past and on-going efforts.  These studies and research dialogs provide an expanded  set of resources than those elaborated in the thesis report.  While not comprehensive, the current list of efforts is provided as resources for further information on this subject.
