StratDem Op/Ed: A momentous time in which we live and time to face a security issue that affects all of the nearly 200 nations assembled in Paris, an issue of issues, the fate of the planet’s environmental security overarching national security for each nation
A Thin Blue Layer separates life on Planet Earth from a planet devoid of life… Focus on this fact of science. A #StrategicDemands Day is a day to consider global & national security, above & beyond. #PlanetCitizens, today is an #EarthDay … #EveryDayIsEarthDay
“Look at how thin our atmosphere is. This is all there is between humankind and deadly space.” ~ Astronaut Alexander Gerst The Security Horizon New Definitions of National Security Environmental Security — National Security
As the decade comes to a close we pause to ‘look up’ and look out at the approaching new year. We hear of a new US Space Force and we think of the need for New Definitions of National Security, not a replay of the US Space Command. We think of a planet’s atmosphere…
Existential challenge? Climate crisis? Security demand? Eight Minutes + Seven Minutes = 15 Minutes Among Twenty Candidates. “Four hours of air-time over two nights and the first climate question arrives about 90 minutes into the Democratic party presidential debate on both nights. The combined time spent on climate both nights amounted to 15 minutes.”
Environmental Security… National Security… “National Security” demands an expanded definition going forward into the 21st century as a result of changing environmental conditions, the dynamics of interactive networks, and new means and open methods of sharing critical environmental information.

Strategic Demands of the 21st Century The clock is ticking and for decades now we, the founders, strategists and activists from Strategic Demands and GreenPolicy360, have worked to put forward a new security vision, new ways of seeing, new definitions of national security. The mutual threats of global climate change and a renewed […]

Strategic Demands associate, GreenPolicy360, points at the United Nations with its whole world concerns about climate change and the future. StratDem talks of the need for ‘New Definitions of Security’, local/national/global. Doctors of Science say: Time to monitor vital signs & temperature

A multi-billion dollar ‘modernization’ of US nuclear weapons delivered an unsurprising ‘next gen’ nuclear arms race. Strategic Demands called this a “Cold War 2.0”. Now, with threats and an announced ‘suspension’ of the New START treaty, the final remaining nuclear weapons agreement is foreclosed. A “Nuclear Arms Race 3.0” commences
Will this gathering of nations focus on environmental protection, “new definitions of national security”, planetary awareness we’ve been pushing since the 1970s, an environmental security pursued after an eye-opening ‘Earthrise’, a first ‘Whole Earth’ vision, and a first Earth Day… Questions abound at the 27th global climate conference with thousands of attendees
This is no time for equivocation. The ‘West v East’ war (not “special operation” as Russia calls their invasion of Ukraine) is a tragedy. The Putin decision to invade Ukraine is disastrous — humanly, strategically, morally, politically — and for year to come will be seen for what it is — a preventable disaster
Dire climate news from tens of thousands of science studies… UN’s 6th Assessment in 3 parts: August 2021, ‘How the climate is changing’; February 2022, ‘What are the climate impacts? How can we adapt and act now to make a difference?’ Coming March 2022, ‘Solutions to slow impacts of climate change’
As Strategic Demands’ editor reflects on half a century of climate work, beginning with Rep. George E Brown-(D) East LA, key drafter of the first National Climate Act in 1978, the climate science message we advanced decades ago is now, at last, coming into the spotlight. But is it too late?
The original mission statement of NASA prominently focused on Earth Science. A first generation of visionary scientists and government leaders set in motion missions to study, measure and monitor Earth’s life systems. Now, fifty+ years on, with decades of data and ‘vital signs’ to guide policy decisions, it’s time for a leap of knowledge
