Synopsis

Does a connection exist between environmental degradations, resource scarcity and violent conflicts? Global environmental changes, such as climate change and sea level rise, shortage of fresh water and rapid soil degradation increasingly highlight the dimensions of environmental change in foreign and security policy. To reverse these negative environmental consequences over the long term, comprehensive and preventive policy approaches are urgently required. This state-of-the-art book contains numerous articles by renown German-speaking experts from, different scientific disciplines as well as international and European political advisors and diplomats. Together they discuss the complex cause of environmentally induced conflicts and the political societal mechanisms for conflict prevention.
