Climate change can have severe impacts on security. In this interview, Francesco Femia, Co-Founder and President at the Center for Climate and Security, explains how climate change can exacerbate already existing drivers of migration, such as food or water stress, creating major migration flows that can have a significant regional and international security impact. He also explains how climate change alters the conditions in traditionally unstable geo-strategic environments - such as the Arctic or the South China Sea - making them even more unstable.
