The Australian Security Leaders Climate Group (ASLCG) is a non-partisan network of Australian security and policy professionals that is working to reframe the climate debate and make climate an immediate security priority in Australia. Led by former members of the Australian Defence Force and security practitioners, the Australian Security Leaders Climate Group (ASLCG) works to reframe the climate debate to address the threat that accelerating climate change poses to Australia’s security. The group aims to make climate an immediate security priority in Australia by assessing the full level of current and oncoming risk and building resilience for local and global protection. ASLCG will do this by:

- Leading public debate and raising awareness of the security threat of climate change;

- Communicating and undertaking strategic research on this issue;

- Developing strategic and achievable policy recommendations that appropriately address climate-security threats; and

- Working with government and department officials to secure positive and actionable policy outcomes.
