Climate change is projected to have significant impacts on global stability, potentially increasing the risk of conflict in a number of regions—from the Arctic to sub-Saharan Africa and from the Middle East to South-East Asia.

Many governments and military leaders believe climate change impacts are already becoming a catalyst for conflict in vulnerable states, and add yet another challenge to the world’s complex, inter-dependent global security environment.

The objective of the Climate Change, Security & Defence conference is to stimulate a public debate about Canada’s connection to the broad security and defence threats related to climate change.
