The Burning Question: climate and conflict - why does it matter?
Climate change presents a number of threats to security: meaning here the security of individuals, communities, provinces, states, and entire regions. Some of these threats translate more or less into contributory causes of conflict. Without getting into the slightly pointless debate about the precise correlation between rising ambient temperatures and rising human tensions, this book seeks to examine the various linkages between climate and conflict, and the different pathways that exist to turn changes of climate into intensified sources of conflict.
