Climate and Conflicts

The book progresses in three distinct parts, beginning with an overview of core environmental concepts and the impacts of climate change on resources like water and land. It then examines climate-induced migration, analyzing the resulting social and economic stresses. Finally, it synthesizes these elements to explore the geopolitical implications, highlighting how resource scarcity and migration can fuel international rivalries and internal conflicts.

The approach is analytical, using case studies and data to illustrate complex relationships. By integrating climate science with geopolitical and historical analysis, Climate and Conflicts provides a comprehensive understanding of climate-related conflicts. It examines how climate change exacerbates existing vulnerabilities, potentially leading to new pathways to conflict at various levels. This perspective is valuable for policymakers and anyone concerned with global security, offering insights into climate adaptation and conflict resolution.
