From wildfires in Australia to disappearing islands
and the melting Arctic: the changing climate is causing devastating
environmental degradation across the world. What once seemed like a scenario
for a far-away future has now become an existential threat as climate change is
causing irreversible harm to the environment and the people that live in it.
Climate change thus dramatically underlines that nowadays security is about
much more than just preventing war: rising sea levels, heat waves, and storms
threaten the livelihoods of millions of people, with many calling climate
change the biggest threat to mankind. Answers to climate change will have to be
as diverse as the threats that it causes. A broad alliance of actors – from
students to civil society organizations to military officials – is hence
advocating for decisive climate action on mitigation and adaption.
Will they be heard before it’s too late?
The #MSC-Event aims to explore how climate change threatens human security across the world and what can be done to counter climate change and its fallout.
The registration for the #MSC2020 is now closed.
