Civil emergencies
We monitor closely the risks of
infectious disease, extreme weather,
and man-made emergencies. We assess
that the highest risk is an inuenza-type
pandemic, like the outbreak in 1918
which killed 228,000 people in the United

Drivers of insecurity
In the second half of this chapter,
we consider a range of factors which are
not in themselves direct security threats to
the United Kingdom, but which can drive

Climate change
Climate change is potentially the
greatest challenge to global stability
and security, and therefore to national
security. Tackling its causes, mitigating
its risks and preparing for and dealing
with its consequences are critical to our
future security, as well as protecting global
prosperity and avoiding humanitarian
disaster.

Tackling trans-national
organised crime
Trans-national organised crime poses a
challenge to traditional policing approaches:
it crosses borders; it links up the local, the
national and the trans-national; it requires
close cooperation between policing and
intelligence; and it cuts across traditional
departmental boundaries between policing,
transport, security, and nance.

The interdependence of
threats, risks and drivers an
integrated response
As set out in Chapter One, the overall
objective of this National Security Strategy is
to anticipate and address a diverse range of
threats and risks to our security, in order to
protect the United Kingdom and its interests,
enabling its people to go about their daily
lives freely and with condence, in a more
secure, stable, just, and prosperous world.
Chapter Three explains that those threats and
risks are not as great as at previous times in
our history, but they are real, and also more
diverse, complex, and interdependent than in
the past. The policy responses outlined in this
chapter are, therefore, not only individually
vital to our future security and prosperity, but
also wide-ranging, complex, and, crucially,
interdependent. They reect an integrated
approach to developing policy and building
capability, intended to deliver results against a
number of linked objectives.
