Climate Change, Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Security

On February 5, 2026, join the Center for Climate and Security online for a webinar exploring how intensifying climate change impacts are continuing to shape global peace and security dynamics as they strain food security, stress social cohesion, shift migration dynamics, and threaten lives. At the same time, the unfettered growth of AI systems is increasingly prominent in discussions about climate change and how this technology will impact global resilience.

This webinar will bring together experts from the security, technology, and climate communities to explore a range of issues, including the security implications of AI’s water and energy demands; the role of AI in advancing early warning and risk anticipation systems; and the potential for AI to both strengthen—or undermine—energy systems and infrastructure resilience in a changing climate.

  • CCS Director Erin Sikorsky will moderate the discussion with panelists
  • Dr. Costa Samaras, Director at the Carnegie Mellon University Scott Institute for Energy Innovation and
  • Dr. Kyungmee Kim, Associate Senior Lecturer at the Swedish Defense University
