How does the climate crisis relate to global security issues? What impact do increasing temperatures, droughts, sea level rises and extreme weather have on borders, war, migration and unrest? This nuanced, urgent book cuts into the heart of this relationship, packed with global examples, from glacier movements destabilizing borders, to misinformation driving political apathy around the climate. You will encounter new, provocative ideas such as the carbon footprint of the military, the pressing need for the Global South to adapt, not blame, and the need for strong and visionary leadership in climate negotiations. Situated on the cutting edge of the climate debate, this book will revolutionize your perspective on global security, challenge deep-rooted assumptions and ignite you critical thinking.
