Education Working Group
What Does the working group do?
The Education Working Group (EWG) helps advance the educational pipeline for environmental security, from youth to parliamentarians, and military personnel to practitioners. Through a variety of in-person and virtual activities, the EWG collaborates with government, academia, the private sector, and civil society to connect assets in educational discovery, engagement, and solutions to strengthen awareness and problem-solving capabilities across the Indo-Pacific.

Three-Year Plan Objectives (2022-2025)
- Provide access to the latest environmental security research to contribute evidence-based environmental security education assets for decision making at all levels.
- Provide programs and pathways for civilian and military educational partnerships which best serve the needs of localized regions and IPESP member nations.
- Ensure environmental security educational materials are accessible and distributed to intended audiences (i.e. parliamentarians, youth, government officials etc.).
What Does The Partnership Do?
The Partnership broadly conceptualizes environmental security as safeguarding against vulnerabilities induced by the abundance or scarcity of environmental assets and/or degradation. The Working Groups implement training and capacity building activities to improve the ability of partner nations to plan for and manage environmental security challenges.
