Elizabeth Boulton, PhD

Elizabeth G. Boulton is an eco-military theorist with Destination Safe Earth, and a research affiliate with Oxford University’s “Climate Change & (In)Security Project." Her doctoral research developed the idea that climate and environmental change constitutes a new form of threat – a hyperthreat. She then applied modified military threat analysis and strategic planning tools to investigate options for a hyper-response. This led to ‘PLAN E’ – the world’s first climate and eco-centred security strategy, published by the US Marine Corps University Press in 2022.
