Summary
We must understand that in a state, the environmental issues are responsible for social, economic, political, and even military conditions.
We must understand that in a state the environmental issues are responsible for social, economic, political, and even military conditions. We must stabilize population growth and stop famine because they cause tension, war, and terrorism in the global arena. Some security measurements of global climate change are:
1.Resources scarcity and competition for water, food, and land security. There are some of the biggest challenges that we must compete for land, water, and food; 2. Infrastructure vulnerabilities like sea-level rise and coastal infrastructure. The infrastructure deteriorates when sea levels rise. National Security Implications, like military bases and operations, rising sea levels and extreme weather can threaten military bases and affect defense; 3. Technological and Environmental Security impact on critical infrastructure. Climate change can pose risks to critical infrastructures, including energy grids and communication networks; 4. Economic impacts like disruption of economies. Economic Crisis are causing global setbacks and difficult recoveries; 5. Migration and climate refugees. In the last decade we saw large migrations of people around the world. This will cause future problems; 6. Health and Pandemic. The risk of disease, like the COVID 19 pandemic spread; 7. Extreme weather events like natural disasters affect all areas in the world; and lastly 8. Global Governance Challenges like international cooperation: Addressing the security dimensions of climate change requires global cooperation. Failure to do so can strain diplomatic relations.
The security measurements of global climate change involve a combination of alleviation strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to promote international cooperation to build resilience and prevent conflict.

Yota,
You’ve covered a broad waterfront of impacts of global climate change. Slowly, the world is coming to understand how inter-connected all of this is. The question now is whether the nations of the world can mobilize themselves, and rise above personal greed and national advantage, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions before we reach the “tipping points” when it becomes irreversible. –Professor Wallerstein
