The discussion about climate security is increasing in various sectors, including research, non-governmental organizations, education, and businesses. This topic is also gaining more visibility in the media. Because the phenomenon is relatively new, the ways of producing and disseminating information on the subject have not yet been established. Often, discussions on the topic, especially in the public, rely on a relatively small group of researchers and security policy experts.

In this workshop, we ask who produces information related to climate security, how it is shared among stakeholders, who claims ownership of the climate security discourse, and how equality is ensured in the generation, dissemination, and utilization of information. What kind of information is produced at different levels, what is needed, and how does information flow between (local, national, EU, global) levels?
