“Internationally, scientific and policy debates on the potential security implications of climate change have recently gained great momentum. It is now clear that climate change poses one of the key challenges for global economic development and human well- being and may put peace and security at risk, as natural resources such as water, food, and energy become scarce. Alongside these scarcities, slower
onset changes in weather, and extreme weather events such as floods and storms, are predicted to lead to an increase in migration movements. Africa is projected
to experience some of the worst climate-related impacts and security threats.”
