Bio
Judith Nora Hardt works as a postdoctoral researcher with the Franco-German research centre for social sciences Centre Marc Bloch. In 2014, Judith received her PhD (Dr. Phil) in International Relations from the University of the Basque Country (Spain). She worked as a lecturer in International Relations, Nature Conservation and Socioeconomics at the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development (Germany) and has been part of the research group “Climate Change and Security” at the University of Hamburg since 2017. She is also an associated researcher at the Institute for Peace Research and Security Policy (IFSH, Hamburg). Since March 2021, she has been the project manager of the three-year Franco-German project Multiple Crises: Covid-19 and the Entanglements of Public Health, Security and Ecology in Europe, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. She is active in the Network of Scientists for Future.
Among her books and peer-reviewed publications are: Hardt, Judith Nora: Environmental Security in the Anthropocene. Assessing Theory and Practice (London: Routledge, 2018); “Encounters between Security and the Earth System Sciences: Planetary Boundaries and Hothouse Earth”, in Chandler, David, Rothe, Delf and Mueller, Franziska (eds.) International Relations in the Anthropocene: New Actors, new Agencies and new approaches (London: Palgrave, 2021); "The United Nations Security Council at the Forefront of (Climate) Change?

Research projects
Judith's research is based on a critical-normative approach and aims to develop the conceptualizations of security, conflict, human well-being and justice via the new readings of human-nature relations. The forms and roles of agency, expertise, power and normative foundations within global governance are further constitutive elements of her research. The emerging Anthropocene Studies and the question of the changing critical theories in this context are also part of her research.
With association to the Institute for Peace Research and Security Policy of the University of Hamburg (IFSH), she led the project “Climate change in security perceptions, conceptions and practice at the United Nations Security Council” (2019-2020), which was funded by the German Federal Foreign Office. One of the central aims of her research is to overcome the several challenges of the climate security field and to thereby advance the development of the climate security agenda with the joined forces of the triangulation of theory and practice, developing new policy approaches and recommendations.
Since March 1st 2021, she has been the project manager of the Franco-German project (BMBF) Multiple Crises. Covid-19 and the Entanglements of Public Health, Security and Ecology in Europe. This three-year project, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, examines the entanglement and interaction of different crisis phenomena that are particularly evident as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using the three major subject areas of public health, safety and ecology, concrete interdependencies between these phenomena, which are perceived as “existential crises”, are identified and analyzed.
One of the central aims of her research is to advance the development of the climate security agenda with the joined forces of the triangulation of theory and practice, developing new policy approaches and recommendations. She is active in the Network of Scientists For Future.

(BMBF) Multiple Crises. Covid-19 and the Entanglements of Public Health, Security and Ecology in Europe
Judith Nora Hardt works as a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre Marc Bloch. Her research is based on a critical-normative approach and aims to develop conceptualizations of security, conflict, human well-being and justice via new readings of human-nature relations. Since 2021, she leads the BMBF funded research project “Multiple Crises: Covid 19 and the Entanglements of Public Health, Ecology and Security in Europe” at the CMB. Her work is bolstered by her engagement within the Scientists for Future movement.
Gabriel Bartl is a sociologist who has been working on the phenomenon of (in)security within the framework of several research projects during recent years. His work in the field of security research has covered various research areas, such as acceptance and risk perception research, (critical) resilience research, surveillance studies, critical security studies, and science and technology studies. Among other things, he has dealt with the question of what social implications arise from the observable trend towards an increasing epistemisation and technicization of security. Since September 2021, he has been working as one of two project leaders of the research project "Multiple Crises. Covid-19 and the Entanglements of Public Health, Security and Ecology in Europe" at the Centre March Bloch.

The publication stems from a workshop that sought to critically rethink governance in times of multiple crises by assessing the crisis responses of political decision- makers, scientific experts and society at large in the context of climate change and pandemics. The workshop was funded by the German Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) and the Franco-German Research Center for Social Sciences and Humanities Centre Marc Bloch (CMB) and it was organized in cooperation with Sciences Po, Paris. It brought together scholars from different academic traditions in an interdisciplinary and interactive work environment to exchange theoretical, conceptual and methodological approaches to researching multiple crises.
Climate Security in the Anthropocene

Collection: The Anthropocene: Politik—Economics—Society—Science
ISBN: 978-3-031-26016-2
This chapter introduces the book, Climate Security in the Anthropocene—Exploring the Approaches of United Nations Security Council Member-States. Climate change is increasingly positioned as a security issue. A number of influential governance actors including states, international organisations, and civil society groups now connect climate change to a variety of security threats such as armed conflict, disasters, low socio-economic development, and fragile governing institutions. These threat perceptions have translated into political action and have led to the formation of a complex constellation of governance actors in response. In particular, over the past fifteen years both permanent and non-permanent member-states of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) have been instrumental in constructing and responding to climate security threats. This introductory chapter presents the overall aim of the book, which is to analyse whether the concept of security has shifted over time with respect to climate change, and if so, how these shifts have occurred in state practices. It begins by tracing the evolution of climate security in academic scholarship and in the UNSC. It then presents the theoretical framework of the book, which distinguishes between three ideal-types of climate security: national security, human security, and ecological security. It concludes by outlining the methodology of the book, which is comprised of fifteen case study chapters that explore the various ways in which member-states that sat on the UNSC between 2018 and in 2020 constructed and responded to climate security threats.

Statement by Scientists 4 Future (S4F) regarding the "Demands of Fridays for Future Germany to the German Representatives in the EU
October 01, 2020Judith Nora Hardt , Baumann et al.
Berlin, 02.10.2020 | Die Scientists for Future (S4F) belegen, dass die Forderungen der Fridays for Future (FFF) an die EU-Politik sachlich erforderlich und wissenschaftlich begründet sind. Nach Berechnungen des IPCC ergibt sich ein Restbudget für Emissionen der EU27 von 20 Gt CO2 ab 2021, um die Erderwärmung auf maximal 1,5 Grad zu begrenzen. Eine Reduktion der Emissionen von 80 % bis 2030 entspricht einem Pfad in diesem Budgetrahmen. Die EU müsste spätestens im Jahre 2035 CO2-neutral sein. Die Forderungen von FFF sind mit dem 1,5-Grad-Ziel konsistent. Sie sind klimawissenschaftlich begründet und liegen politisch wie ökonomisch im Bereich des Notwendigen und Machbaren.

Neuer IFSH Policy Brief: A Climate for Change in the UNSC? Member States’ Approaches to the Climate-Security Nexus
22.06.2020
Inwieweit nehmen die 15 derzeitigen Mitgliedstaaten des UN-Sicherheitsrates den Klimawandel als Bedrohung für ihre eigene und die internationale Sicherheit war? Inwiefern integrieren sie den Klimawandel-Sicherheits-Nexus, also die vielfältigen Sicherheitsbedrohungen, die vom Klimawandel ausgehen, in ihre Innen- und Außenpolitik sowie in ihre Position, die sie in den Vereinten Nationen vertreten? Im neuen IFSH Research Report stellen Dr. Judith Nora Hardt und Alina Viehoff bedeutende Forschungsergebnisse zu diesen Fragen vor. Die Analyse wurde mit Unterstützung eines großen internationalen und interdisziplinären Wissenschaftsnetzwerkes in dem Zeitraum von Dezember 2019 bis April 2020 erarbeitet und legt den Fokus auf traditionelle Sicherheitsakteure, aber auch auf andere staatliche Akteure und schließt ein breites Sicherheitsverständnis ein.
Der vorliegende Forschungsbericht von Dr. Judith Nora Hardt und Alina Viehoff ist der erste, der sich systematisch mit oben genannten Fragen auseinandersetzt. Dabei legt er einen besonderen Schwerpunkt auf die Beziehungen zwischen nationaler und internationaler Sicherheit, indem der Bericht die nationalen Politiken der 15 Mitgliedstaaten des UN-Sicherheitsrat – dem einzigen internationalen Organ mit einem Mandat zur Aufrechterhaltung des Weltfriedens und der internationalen Sicherheit – ins Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit rückt. Die Studie enthält die detaillierten Forschungsergebnisse, die bereits als Grundlage für den IFSH Policy Brief #5 „A Climate for Change in the UNSC? Member States’ Approaches to the Climate-Security Nexus“ dienten, der kurz zuvor erschienen ist.
Die beiden Autorinnen sehen es als essentiell an, dass der Sicherheitsrat die wechselseitigen Beziehungen von Klimawandel und Sicherheit und die unterschiedlichen Auswirkungen, die sich aus diesen Zusammenhang ergeben, anerkennt. Dabei wird die Notwendigkeit eines institutionellen Wandels des Sicherheitsrates hervorgehoben, der insbesondere durch den Einbezug von wissenschaftlicher Expertise fundiert und multilateral gestützt sein sollte. Zudem empfehlen sie, die traditionelle Sicherheitspolitik, die sich zumeist auf Sicherheit im engeren und traditionellen Sinne bezieht, um sozio-ökologische Aspekte, wie z.B. extreme Wettereignisse und existentielle Bedrohungen für Inselstaaten und zukünftige Generationen, zu erweitern.
Der Research Report entstand im Rahmen des Projektes „The role of climate change in security conceptions and perceptions of the UNSC member states“, das durch das Auswärtige Amt gefördert wurde. Das Projekt war eine Kooperation zwischen dem Institut für Friedensforschung und Sicherheitspolitik an der Universität Hamburg (IFSH) und der Forschungsgruppe Klimawandel und

New IFSH Policy Brief: A Climate for Change in the UNSC? Member States’ Approaches to the Climate-Security Nexus
22.06.2020
Dr. Judith Nora Hardt
Traditional security actors and institutions facing complex socio-ecological dynamics stand on the brink of change. How do the 15 current UN Security Council member states approach the connections between climate change and security? In the new IFSH Policy Brief, Dr. Judith Nora Hardt presents the research results of the project "Climate Change and Security in the UN Security Council" [v2] (CLSEC UNSC) on this question. The results illustrate how essential it is for the Security Council to recognize the interrelations of climate and security and their multiple effects. The policy brief emphasizes the urgent need for institutional, multilateral and scientifically-informed change to ensure international peace and security.
The detailed research results will be published in the upcoming IFSH Research Report #5 "A Climate for Change in the UNSC? Member States' Approaches to the Climate-Security Nexus"
