Climate change and human security

Case studies linking vulnerable populations to increased security risks in the face of the global climate challenge.

Through a series of case studies, Dr Simon Chin-Yee argues that the threats arising from climate change are manifold but not readily apparent. Issues such as cross-border migration, internal displacement and violent conflicts – concerns that on the surface may seem like traditional security and humanitarian challenges – take on a whole new meaning when analysed more carefully.

In 2017/18, for the eighth time in a row, the KonradAdenauer-Foundation (KAS) supported the Fellowship in Energy Security at EUCERS. This year we welcomed Dr Simon Chin-Yee, who submitted a meticulously researched paper on how climate change impacts human security, titled “Climate change and human security: Case studies linking vulnerable populations to increased security risks in the face of the global climate challenge”.

The topic could hardly be timelier given the increasing manifestations of climate change and the ways it impacts human security, be they more apparent such as extreme wildfires and record temperatures or more subtle in the form of creeping desertification.
