“…For instance, U.S. universities and colleges began offering homeland security academic programs in the aftermath of 9/11 and establishment of DHS. Homeland security studies has since emerged as field of inquiry that encompasses multiple disciplines and continues to undergo maturation (Asaka, 2023b;Ramsay & Renda-Tanali, 2018;Ramsay et al, 2021a). Today, the DHS Office of University Programs oversees partnerships with U.S. universities and colleges aimed at streamlining ''access to the expertise of the nation's universities and colleges to address pressing homeland security needs'' (DHS, 2023a).…”

“…Therefore, climate change has emerged as a major homeland security issue that differentially impacts both the CIKR and people of the United States (Asaka & Denham, 2023; DHS, 2023c). The burgeoning homeland security scholarly literature on the topic primarily frames climate change as a homeland security threat and/or risk multiplier (see e.g., Asaka, 2023b; Asaka & Denham, 2023; Butts, 2014; Lanicci & Ramsay, 2014; Lanicci et al, 2017; O’Sullivan, 2015; Ramsay & O’Sullivan, 2013, 2021). In other words, climate change indirectly impacts U.S. homeland security through its effect(s) on known homeland security threats such as terrorism and weather extremes among others (Asaka, 2021; Lanicci & Ramsay, 2014).…”

“…In the United States, as far back as 2008, Joshua Busby—one of today’s foremost U.S.-based climate-security nexus scholars—was already arguing that, “That climate change potentially poses a direct threat to the U.S. homeland and its overseas interests suggests that the subject warrants serious attention” (Busby, 2008, p. 470). Since then, there has been a growing body of academic literature that explore the link between climate change and U.S. homeland security (see e.g., Butts, 2014; Lanicci & Ramsay, 2014; Lanicci et al, 2017; O’Sullivan, 2015; Ramsay et al, 2021b). This body of knowledge frames domestic security as homeland security (see Section 2 of the article for further discussion on this) and establishes that climate change negatively impacts U.S. homeland security through its threat multiplier effect on already existing hazards, risks, and/or threats (see e.g., Lanicci & Ramsay, 2014; O’Sullivan, 2015; O’Sullivan & Ramsay, 2015; Ramsay & O’Sullivan, 2013).…”

Climate change is a significant security concern in the 21st century. This study is specifically focused on the interplay between climate change and domestic security within the U.S. context but is of relevance to other countries that are vulnerable to climate change impacts. The study comparatively explores mainstream environmental security literature and U.S. homeland security academic literature on climate-security nexus and establishes three things as follows. First, there is a relatively small but growing body of literature that explores the nexus between climate change and U.S. homeland security. Second, contemporary homeland security academic literature primarily frames climate change as a threat multiplier but does not account for maladaptation, which this article argues is a key aspect of the climate-security nexus including within the U.S. context. Third, maladaptation is already increasingly being accounted for within mainstream environmental security literature in addition to the threat multiplier aspect of the nexus. The article advances knowledge on climate-security nexus within homeland security field by proposing a comprehensive conceptual framework that would enable U.S. homeland security academics to account for both threat multiplier and maladaptation aspects of the climate change problem in their analysis. The article concludes with recommendations for future research.

Security is one of the most strongly felt human needs, and therefore the issue of security has accompanied mankind throughout its civilized history. It could also be said that the history of mankind is the history of man's struggle to ensure his security. For this reason, the main goal of the author of this study, following the research and works of renowned authors in the field of security, is with the use relevant methods of scientific research to contribute to the development of security theory and discuss the postulates of security theory.
