CLIMATE CHANGE & SECURITYstrengthening resilience to climate-fragility risks
The climate security challenge
Climate change is at the heart of the peace and security agenda of the 21st century. The ultimate ‘threat multiplier’, climate change worsens existing social, economic and environmental risks that can fuel unrest and potentially result in violent conflict.
Climate change impacts Insecurity risks
