This project consists of a report analysing the activities of 1st Canadian Ranger Patrol Group. The goal of the report is to better understand the role of the Canadian Rangers and provide Canada with policy recommendations to better leverage their capacity. The project also includes related media products to enhance Canadians’ understanding of the North and the Canadian Rangers. 

The project consists of a research study on the Nordic total defence model for a whole-of-society approach to defence. The project will discuss the ways in which the Defence Team could apply this model to better respond to national emergencies and deter threats below the threshold of war. Emphasis will be placed on Northern and Arctic security. 

This project consists of a series of ten conferences held across Canada to strengthen public understanding and support for Canada’s commitment to invest 5% of GDP in defence by 2035. A report will be produced to summarize and translate findings into policy recommendations. 

This project consists of a two-day conference focused on Canada’s plan to increase defence spending to 5% of GDP by 2035 and its implications for procurement, industrial capacity, and national security. 

The project consists of a publication featuring seven expert essays exploring emerging defence and security threats across multiple domains. Essays will be written by Canadian experts from academic, industry, and civil society and will provide forward-looking analyses on the identified themes. 

This project aims to enhance the capacity of national and sub-national governments to integrate wildfire risk management as a standardized component of regional, national, and local disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies. The project seeks to bolster country resilience to wildfires across Latin America and the Caribbean by supporting evidence-based decision-making for wildfire risk reduction, strengthening technical capacity for improved governance to reduce wildfire risk, and integrating sustainable wildfire management practices into national and local planning through multi-stakeholder collaboration and public-private partnerships. The intervention aligns with the principles of the Sendai Framework on Disaster Risk Reduction, to which Canada is a signatory.

This Project aims to strengthen the institutional capacity of law enforcement agencies and improve border infrastructure through the provision of equipment and specialized trainings on countering violent extremism and organized crime, while institutionalizing standardized border management curriculum and SOPs in Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia. The Project will enhance regional coordination through trainings, joint workshops, and operational mechanisms such as Integrated/Coordinated Border Management Committees, Joint Operations Centres, and cross-border taskforces. The Project will also reinforce community engagement and policing (CEP) and strengthen early warning mechanisms in border communities by developing standardized CEP training curriculum, monitoring frameworks, and community forums.

This three-year (2026-29) UNODC implemented project aims to disrupt illicit financial flows that enable the production and trafficking of synthetic drugs, including illicit fentanyl, and their precursor chemicals, reducing threats to global health, safety, and security. It will strengthen international cooperation and national capacities to identify, intercept, and prevent money laundering linked to synthetic drugs, while promoting chemical diversion prevention practices and information-sharing between public and private sector actors. Key activities include: (1) specialized training for financial investigative units (FIU), law enforcement, and criminal justice officials to enhance identification and interdiction of illicit financial flows tied to synthetic drug production and trafficking; (2) three meetings of the Financial Institutions Against Drugs (FIAD) network to foster increased public/private cooperation (3) developing Chemical Diversion Prevention (CDP) scoring to support regulation, investment decisions, and compliance among chemical industry partners.
