The National Security research cluster examines how Canada can strengthen security and resilience amid escalating geopolitical and climate threats. Bridging insights from national defence, emergency management, and disaster preparedness, the Lab applies strategic foresight to assess future risks and stress-test national readiness. This work advances whole-of-society approaches to resilience by integrating defence policy, crisis response, and civil preparedness to support Canada’s long-term security.
