Environment and Security in Hungary

Analysis is given to identify the links between environmental change and security in Hungary’s different policy sectors, such as defense and security policy, regional and national environmental policy and foreign policy in Hungary. It is found that current discussions on the ‘environment and security’ debate, unlike in other Western European or North American countries, is not on the policy agenda as of yet in the case of Hungary. There is — instead — a gradual learning about the possible impact of environmental changes on security, both in the academic and the political sector.
