Climate change does not directly lead to conflict or instability, but it can interact negatively with the factors that impact the lives of those most vulnerable in social, political, and economic ways. When those risks are not addressed, new crises and conflicts can erupt, or it can exacerbate existing tensions. That’s why addressing climate-related security risks is central for local sustainable development, and to prevent future conflicts.
