Climate Change: From Challenge to Key Threat? The Example of the European Security Strategy

Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 10, Issue 6

Abstract

For a wide range of reasons it is becoming more and more evident that Climate Change takes part in destabilising societies and creating a threat to the security of states all over the globe. One example where the development of acknowledging this can be reviewed is the history of the European Security Strategy (ESS). Understanding that Climate Change serves as a facilitator for instability of states, participating in creating reasons for migration and radicalisation, may eventually lead – from the side of professionals from the field of security policy – to pressure towards a more progressive climate protection policy framework and an adjustment in other policy fields, thus creating unusual coalitions. Also for this the ESS may create a first example.
