THE ORGANIZATION IS A NON-PARTISAN SECURITY POLICY INSTITUTE INCORPORATED IN WASHINGTON, D.C., DEVOTED TO ANTICIPATING, ANALYZING AND ADDRESSING CORE SYSTEMIC RISKS TO SECURITY IN THE 21ST CENTURY, WITH SPECIAL EXAMINATION OF THE WAYS IN WHICH THESE RISKS INTERSECT AND EXACERBATE ONE ANOTHER. TO FURTHER THIS GOAL, CSR CURRENTLY HOSTS NON-PARTISAN INSTITUTES ON CLIMATE AND SECURITY (THE CENTER FOR CLIMATE AND SECURITY) AND STRATEGIC WEAPONS RISKS (THE CENTER ON STRATEGIC WEAPONS), AS WELL AS A PROGRAM DESIGNED TO STUDY CONVERGING, CROSS-SECTORAL RISKS (THE CONVERGING RISKS LAB), WHICH INCLUDES THE CLIMATE-NUCLEAR-SECURITY PROJECT. CSR ALSO HOSTS COUNCIL MEMBERS, INCLUDING PRACTITIONERS AND SCHOLARS PURSUING INDIVIDUAL RESEARCH AND POLICY PROGRAMS THAT EXPLORE SYSTEMIC RISKS TO SECURITY AND THE INTERSECTIONS BETWEEN THEM. CSR CONTENDS THAT THOUGH SOCIETIES ARE FACING UNPRECEDENTED RISKS, THEY ALSO POSSESS UNPRECEDENTED FORESIGHT, AND THIS DYNAMIC CREATES A "RESPONSIBILITY TO PREPARE".
