Abstract

This chapter establishes the two components ‘climate’ and ‘conflict.’ The risks climate change poses to security are outlined, as well as the ongoing debate on the connection of climate impacts and conflicts.
Two different scenarios of climate conflicts need to be distinguished: (1) GHG emission leads to climate change which damages a state in a way that this damage simultaneously constitutes a violation of certain rights. (2) The more complex pathway also starts from GHG emissions leading to climate change and damage; however, this damage causes certain reactions within a state that may possibly lead to destabilization. Conflicts could be triggered or accelerated due to this process on the national, international, or even global level.
This chapter examines the different pathways from GHG emission to conflict. The anchor of the chapter is a graphic displaying the different pathways and categorizing the damages according to direct and indirect climate change damages and displaying the different levels of conflict.

‘Since the AR4, the observational basis has increased substantially, so that some extremes are now examined over most land areas. Furthermore, more models with higher resolution and a greater number of regional models have been used in the simulations and projections of extremes.’ See: IPCC WGI AR5 Summary for Policymakers (2013), p. 121.
