Feeding Resilience: Recap of CCS and Kansas State Event on Risk and Readiness in Food Security
On October 7, 2025, the Center for Climate and Security (CCS) in partnership with Kansas State University (K-State) hosted a day-long conference as part of CCS’ Feeding Resilience program, a multi-year effort focused on the nexus of climate change, food and agriculture, and global security and stability. Feeding Resilience is deepening its analysis and broadening policy engagement to Europe and multilateral institutions, having previously developed The Feeding Resilience Plan, a set of actionable policy recommendations for the US government, endorsed by 30+ retired generals, admirals, ambassadors, intelligence officials, and former heads of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the World Food Programme (WFP).
Event Summary: Nexus25 2025 UN Climate Week Roundtable
On September 24, 2025, the Nexus25 team convened a private roundtable discussion at this year’s NY Climate Week, focusing on how climate change, food security, and conflict are reshaping human mobility globally. Experts spanning multiple UN agencies, humanitarian organizations, private sector companies, research institutions, and more came together to discuss:
- How national authorities can properly mobilize domestic resources and engage in long-term planning across the climate mobility continuum;
- How policymakers can minimize the impact of divisive rhetoric surrounding migration and human mobility – and galvanize support for anticipatory action that helps people safely move or stay;
- Which upstream interventions are most effective in building partner capacity to handle internal displacement; and
- What new alliances and strategies at the multilateral level are required to manage increased human mobility.
A summary of the Nexus25 side event “Human Mobility At the Nexus of Climate, Food, and Conflict” can be found here.

Dispatch from New York City: The Center for Climate and Security at Climate Week and UNGA
Last week, the Center for Climate and Security (CCS) team traveled to NY Climate Week and the UN General Assembly to convene government officials, NGOs, multilateral organizations, and scientific experts on a broad range of security-related topics, including climate mobility, food security, renewable energy, solar geoengineering, and climate disinformation. The climate security nexus was featured both at the UN and in Climate Week convenings, with seven countries raising it in the Secretary-General’s High-Level Meeting on Climate, and multiple private sector events explicitly exploring security and resilience.
For a broader overview of key takeaways from the week, including disconnects between clean energy investors and geopolitics, and how the US is stepping back while China is stepping up, you can also check out CCS Director Erin Sikorsky’s latest Substack newsletter, Reflections on Climate Week, Power & Politics.
Below is a quick snapshot of our busy week.
(more…)Feeding Resilience: Ethiopia
Ethiopia sits at the intersection of climate change, food security, and conflict risks that will shape the country’s internal stability, influence on East African security, and geopolitical role for years to come.
Today, the country is in danger of falling into a new round of war or instability, which would exacerbate humanitarian suffering, deepen hunger, destabilize the region, and ripple throughout global trade and geopolitical competition. These challenges will only grow more difficult to address as climate change impacts on agriculture intensify. But Ethiopia’s record of progress speaks to its possibilities as a peaceful, stabilizing, and agriculturally thriving state. Integrated near- and long-term investments by regional and international powers in conflict mediation, food security, and climate resilience can help deliver this future, for the benefit of Ethiopia and global security.
Today, the Center for Climate and Security (CCS), in partnership with Woodwell Climate Research Center, published a new case study exploring intersecting security, food, and climate issues in Ethiopia as part of its Feeding Resilience program.
