The Impact of Climate Change on Security

Abstract

Objectives The aim of this article is to analyse the impact of climate change on broadly understood global security and to provide recommendations for further research on this issue. Material and methods For the purposes of this study, the basic research method used was a review of the literature and the results of the latest research on global warming, its causes, and impact on various aspects of the functioning of societies and states. The descriptive analysis method was also used. Results The greatest security threat resulting from climate change is that much of it is not yet known. It cannot be ruled out that the critical point of climate change has already been exceeded, and the effects of this Conclusions The only solution seems to be to prepare for more frequent and intense weather extremes and to change the perception of what is a climate anomaly and what is the norm. Holistic research should also be carried out on the impact of climate change on the human security environment, both in social and biological terms. Such research should take into account all possible, even not yet existing, variables.
