Revisiting Climate Change as a Matter of Domestic and International Security

One of the growing concerns for the international community is the threat of climate change which is set to pose a grave threat to the peace and security of world nations, and this has engendered substantial interest among scholars and researchers in recent years. In particular, the Asian countries of India and Pakistan top the list of the Global Climate Index as nations that are vulnerable to numerous catastrophes as a result of climate change, due to melting glacier of the Himalayas that have on numerousoccasions caused flash floods in the region resulting in several deaths and immeasurable disaster. This paper explores the threat of climate change to domestic and international security. Evidences would be ascertained to show the linkages between climate change and security and a discussion of security theories, and contribute possible recommendations to minimize the impact of the threat.
