Security

Global Climate Disruption is now (2019) the greatest threat to world security and the insecurity will rapidly increase as global surface warming and climate disruption impair water and food availability to an increasingly wide extent. It is well known that billions of of the most climate change vulnerable are also the most socio-economically deprived. These populations are being hit first and hardest by climate disruption. They are already being displaced internally within their countries and externally forced to seek the bare essentials of life in other countries. The threat to international security has been recognized by national defense and security agencies for some years.

The World Bank published ​​Groundswell : Preparing for Internal Climate Migration​ January 2019, focusing on three regions—Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America that together represent 55 percent of the developing world’s population—and found that climate change will push tens of millions of people to migrate within their countries by 2050. It projects that without concrete climate and development action, just over 143 million people—or around 2.8 percent of the population of these three regions—could be forced to move within their own countries to escape the slow-onset impacts of climate change. They will migrate from less viable areas with lower water availability and crop productivity and from areas affected by rising sea level and storm surges. The poorest and most climate vulnerable areas will be hardest hit.

Without immediate global emissions decline, increasing climate variation and extreme weather events will impact international security, if massively armed developed countries do not unite to deal with these together. The greatest risk then would be invasion by nations seeking to take over agricultural land and water resources out side of their national borders, which could even involve the use of nuclear weapons.

​​Based in Washington DC, the Center for Climate and Security (CCS), a non-partisan institute of the Council on Strategic Risks, has a team and distinguished Advisory Board of security and military experts. CCS envisions a climate-resilient world which recognizes that climate change threats to security are already significant and unprecedented, and acts to address those threats in a manner that is commensurate to their scale, consequence and probability. ​​

The Planetary Security Initiative is based in the Hague​​.The Planetary Security Initiative (PSI) aims to catalyse action in affected contexts. PSI sets out best practice, strategic entry points and new approaches to reducing climate-related risks to conflict and stability, thus promoting sustainable peace in a changing climate.

The Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs launched the PSI in 2015. Now operated by a consortium of leading think tanks.

The IPCC 2014 Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) concluded unequivocally that ìncreasing magnitudes of warming increase the likelihood of severe, pervasive, and irreversible impacts’ (Field et al., 2014), and the Human Security chapter in AR5 further stated that ‘human security will be progressively threatened as the climate changes’.

4 March 2021, The World Economic Forum recognizes the increased security risks from global climate change The US needs partners to tackle the security risks of climate change

The UN Security Council has had a few climate change discussions.

Climate change and security issue is a topic for February 2021 with a decision at the end of the month.

The Climate Emergency is contacting all members both permanent and rotating members- total of 15.UN Climate Change Security members
