| Summary |
Climate change acts as a threat multiplier by triggering or aggravating existing cleavages within societies. More specifically, when climate change overburdens a countries' governmental capacity, societies become more vulnerable to social or political instability. The Climate Security Risk Index focuses on the risks to national security generated by climate-related disasters and comprises of elements such as territorial integrity, ecological security, economic security, physical security, and social and political stability. This unique methodology supports the combination of multiple indicators and plots both the probability of a climate-related disaster to occur and the potential impact of said natural hazard. Using this new risk assessment tool, decision-makers on the global, national and regional level can identify specific targets to prevent, mitigate and/or avert the security impact of climate-related extreme weather events. Additionally, this methodology can be utilized for tracking the progress and effectiveness of disaster-risk reduction measures or strategies |
