The United Nations University’s Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS), located in Bonn, is a think tank focusing on advancing human security and well-being by reducing current and future risks from environmental hazards and climate change.
Research
The main areas of work at UNU-EHS are "Risk and Adaptation" and "Transformation". Within each of these two departments, the institute has several complementary work streams.
Flagship Publication
Through co-creation, collaboration and knowledge-sharing, both areas contribute to UNU-EHS’s flagship publication: the Interconnected Disaster Risks report.
Education
UNU-EHS offers the joint Master of Science degree programme “Geography of Environmental Risks and Human Security” with the University of Bonn. UNU-EHS also hosts a number of international PhD projects and capacity-development courses on global issues of environmental risks and sustainable development.
