Australian security leaders demand release of unclassified climate threat intel, citing UK warnings on ecosystem collapse and global instability.
Former Australian national security leaders, including ex-ADF chief Chris Barrie, are urging the government to release its unclassified climate security intelligence, following the UK’s public warning of severe global risks from ecosystem collapse.
The UK report, developed with input from MI5 and MI6, identifies climate-driven threats like crop failures, water insecurity, and disease outbreaks, with a "reasonable worst-case scenario" of escalating tensions among nuclear-armed nations over dwindling Himalayan water supplies.
It forecasts collapse of key ecosystems—boreal forests, coral reefs, and rainforests—by mid-century, risking mass migration, food insecurity, and conflict.
Australia’s Office of National Intelligence produced a similar assessment three years ago but has not released it, prompting criticism from independent senator David Pocock, who called the secrecy indefensible.
Advocates argue transparency is vital for national preparedness and public trust.
