Achieving sustainability is perhaps the single-most important task for our generation. In the face of a looming climate disaster, calls for the sustainable use of the world's resources are getting louder. As the sea covers more than 70 per cent of the earth's surface, this holds even more true for the use of ocean resources. Despite its vastness, the sea has often been a securitised and politicised space, where the concepts of sustainability and security meet at sea in the form of a myriad of important contemporary issues. In this volume, we set out the intersection between sustainability and security alongside the security-development nexus, and examine these issues under four dimensions of security: economic security, ecological security, human security, and traditional security. Within sections dedicated to each of these we explore both theory and practice by offering cases alongside a conceptual discussion, and in so doing cover topics ranging from the Blue Economy and the net-zero agenda, to natural disasters and climate change, from food security and the future of Small Island Developing States, to the geopolitics of the Arctic. This book takes a bird's eye view, connecting the dots between these issues of security and sustainability, and ending with scenarios for the future with policy-making in mind.
This volume presents a timely and compelling argument that policymakers and scholars need to come to terms with the intersection of sustainability and security at sea. The editors detail a clear and insightful conceptual approach for grasping the simultaneity and interplay of security and sustainability concerns that will give inspiration to further research in the field. Chapter contributors convincingly illustrate aspects of this approach across regions, scales and sites of political engagement - from port cities to the UN. A must read for students, researchers and practitioners of ocean politics.
Elana Wilson Rowe, Research Professor at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI)
"Too often issues of security and sustainability at sea have been studied in narrow terms. This volume makes a critical contribution the literature by unpacking the interconnections and interdependence between these two vitally important issues."
Robert McCabe, Assistant Professor and Director of the MA Maritime Security Programme at Coventry University.
"In this timely publication, an international set of contributors portray a rich array of views on the oceans, security and sustainability for the reader. Of particular value is how the security-sustainability nexus runs through the chapters to emphasise the ever-growing importance and relevance of this interplay."
Francois Vreÿ, Professor Emeritus of Military Science and Research Coordinator at the Security Institute for Governance and Leadership in Africa (SIGLA), Stellenbosch University.

實現可持續性或許是我們這一代人最重要的任務。在即將來臨的氣候災難面前，對於可持續利用全球資源的呼聲愈加高漲。由於海洋覆蓋了地球表面超過70%的面積，這一點在海洋資源的使用上更是如此。儘管海洋廣袤無垠，但它常常是一個被安全化和政治化的空間，在這裡，可持續性和安全性的概念以眾多重要的當代議題交匯。在本書中，我們探討可持續性與安全性之間的交集，以及安全與發展的聯繫，並在經濟安全、生態安全、人類安全和傳統安全四個維度下檢視這些議題。在專門針對每個維度的部分中，我們通過提供案例和概念討論來探索理論與實踐，涵蓋的主題包括藍色經濟和淨零議程、自然災害和氣候變遷、糧食安全和小島嶼發展中國家的未來，以及北極的地緣政治。本書從全局出發，將這些安全與可持續性議題之間的聯繫串聯起來，並以政策制定為考量，展望未來的情境。
本書提出了一個及時且引人注目的論點，政策制定者和學者需要認識到海洋中可持續性與安全性的交集。編輯們詳細闡述了一種清晰且具洞察力的概念方法，以理解安全與可持續性問題的同時性和相互作用，這將激發該領域進一步的研究。各章的貢獻者在不同地區、規模和政治參與場所中，令人信服地展示了這一方法的各個方面，從港口城市到聯合國，都是必讀之作，適合海洋政治的學生、研究者和實務工作者。
