Abstract: Louise du Toit'… risk will no longer grow as a linear function … Instead risks will multiply exponentially and with gathering speed … As far as the insurance industry is concerned, this development calls for immediate action' (Kaufmann 1990, no page number).'Underwriting climate destroying coal projects [in] this day and age exposes the climate rhetoric of most major insurance companies as hypocritical' (Bosshard 2017, 7).

This article reflects on the proliferation of novel forms of private urban security governance assemblages, specifically the roles of private auspices and providers in responding to contemporary climate-related socio-material harmscapes. The authors use the lens of climatic harms and associated discursive shifts in understandings of the relationship between humans and ‘nature’ to draw attention to gating adaptations, assemblages of powers and capacities being mobilised in response to emerging harmscapes, the logics and technologies underpinning these developments, the roles of established security agents and novel security professionals and the use of resilience as a conceptual framing. These security governance ventures are conceived of as mutating private urban security governance vestiges from PUSG 1.0 to PUSG 2.0 and in this regard, ‘climate gating’ is used as an emblematic example in exploring PUSG 2.0.
