Environmental Impact on National Security
Journal Title: Caspian Journal of Applied Sciences Research - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 13
Abstract
Global warming is one of the most urgent issues of our day. Fortunately, quick and decisive action on climate policies will bring countries many important benefits and opportunities — including national security. The national security threats associated with energy and climate change are twofold. The new interest in climate change and national security has been a valuable warning about the potential security consequences of global warming, but the proposed solutions that accompanied recent efforts have emphasized broader climate policy rather than specific responses to security threats. Because the links between climate change and national security are worthy of concern in their own right, and because some significant climate change is inevitable, strategies that go beyond long-run efforts to rein in greenhouse gas emissions are required. This paper sharpens the connections between climate change and national security and recommends specific policies to address the security consequences of climate change for the Persian Gulf countries over 1990-2011. Data are obtained from the World Bank’s 2012 World Development Indicators. The results show that greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions threaten the Persian Gulf regional security.
