Forschungsthema
Research Fields & Expertise
International Relations and Political Theory; Security Studies; Peace & Conflict Studies; Global Governance; Climate Politics and Climate Security
Judith Nora Hardt works as a postdoctoral researcher with the Centre Marc Bloch (An-Institut Humboldt University, Berlin) on the topics of “the economic challenges of globalisation of the European Union”. In 2014, Judith received her PhD (Dr. Phil) in International Relations from the University of the Basque Country (Spain) on the topic of “Environmental Security in the Anthropocene”. She worked as a lecturer for International Relations, nature conservation and socioeconomics at the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development (Germany) and is part of the research group “Climate Change and Security” at the University of Hamburg since 2017. She has carried out several research stays in Ecuador, Canada, Switzerland and France and is active in the Network of Scientist For Future.
Her 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.

Projekte
In association with the Institute for Peace Research and Security Policy, Judith leads the project „Climate change in security perceptions, conceptions and practice at the United Nations Security Council”. In this project she follows the aim to develop new policy recommendations in order to address the several challenges of the climate security field with the joined forces of the triangulation of theory and practice.
Description
Since 2007, the effects and perceived threats of climate change has been the subject of controversial discussion in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). Does climate change influence the perception, conception and practice of national and international security? This question is explored by examining 15 country case studies at the UNSC. The research approach is based on a broad understanding of security policy and constructive approaches to security of Peace, Conflict and Security Studies. A special feature of the project, which is carried out in cooperation between the Institute for Peace Research and Security Poliy and the Climate Change and Security Research Group, is the inclusion of local expertise and a wide scientific network. The project is supported by the Federal Foreign Office of Germany.

Coordination of other projects
Coordination and production with the team of Bernhard Steinberger, Patrick Bürger and Sebastian Rau. September 2019. Youtube-Video “A call to politics” Scientist for Future
The video is based on statements from 133 German speaking scientists addressed to the governments of Germany, Austria and Switzerland and transports the S4F-Statement, which was signed in May 2019 by more than 26.000 scientist and includes the contribution from Greta Thunberg. It was released on Youtube and in several cinemas in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Climate Change as a Challenge to Security
Judith Hardt’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.
A main task at the Centre Marc Bloch consists in developing and establishing future research projects in relation to the broad theme of “challenges of globalisation for Europe”.
In the context of the project „Climate change in security perceptions, conceptions and practice at the United Nations Security Council”, that Judith leads, she follows the aim to develop new policy recommendations in order to address the several challenges of the climate security field with the joined forces of the triangulation of theory and practice.
