The Implications of Climate Change in Africa.

      Аннотация: The security implications of climate change are of increasing relevance to national peace and security. This research outlined the emerging relevance of climate change to human security. It has become a central concern to many countries, institutions and social actors searching for innovative ways and means of tackling the many non-military threats to peace and security. Indeed, human security underlines the complex links, often ignored or underestimated, between disarmament, human rights and development. Today, in an increasingly globalized world, the most pernicious threats to human security emanate from the conditions that give rise to genocide, civil war, human rights deprivations, global epidemics, environmental degradation, forced and slave labour, and malnutrition. The main focus of this book is to indicate the linkage between climate and human security, stressing how climate change will negatively impact on issues of human security. It also outlines how climate change will act as a threat multiplier and further complicate the scope and nature of conflicts in Africa.
