Climate change has the potential to impact global security in numerous ways.

• The first impact is through rising sea levels, which endanger low-lying countries and their populations.
• Another impact is climate-induced migration, which can cause conflicts over land and resources when displaced populations move into new areas.
• The rising temperatures can also lead to droughts, which can impact agricultural production and cause food insecurity, leading to conflicts over resources as well as civil unrest.
• The thawing of Arctic ice can also lead to territorial disputes over newly accessible resources.
• There are also concerns about extreme weather events, like hurricanes and typhoons, increasing in frequency and severity, which can cause significant damage to infrastructure, displacement of communities, and economic instability.

To address these issues, various measures are being taken, including the Paris Agreement, which seeks to limit global temperature increases to 2°C above pre-industrial levels. There are also efforts to invest in alternative energy sources to reduce carbon emissions, promote reforestation and other carbon sequestration methods. It is necessary to integrate these measures with institutional and regulatory frameworks at the local, national, and international levels. Additionally, risk management strategies must be developed to cope with the consequences of climate change.
