Climate Security

As climate change accelerates, its effects intensify existing social, economic, and environmental issues in various situations, potentially contributing to local, national, and worldwide insecurity. Climate change-related security risks include food, water, and energy supply implications, increased competition for natural resources, loss of employment, climate-related disasters, and forced migration and relocation. For over a decade, the international community has fiercely discussed the possibility of conflict and violence between groups or states driven by climate change (climate security risk).

Simultaneously, insecurity impedes climate change adaptation efforts, making vulnerable communities even poorer and less adaptable to interconnected climate and security crises. Still, climate change adaptation initiatives frequently fail to fully integrate peacebuilding or conflict prevention
