ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses twofold: first, try to explain how and why security could become a dominant frame in international discourses on climate change by tracing the emergence of a climate security discourse coalition (CSDC). Second, chapter provides an insight into the political effects on the governmental landscape of global governance. Nevertheless, their articulations converged in different alarmist storylines on dangerous climate change: climate change as an external enemy/threat, climate conflict narratives and a tale of precaution. Yet these political implications only become visible if we acknowledge that implications are already to be found in the discursive struggle itself. By taking up such a perspective, one can spot many different places at which climate security links up with existing practices in the climate governance problem space. The heterogeneity of these sites is owed to the contingency of the climate security discourse and the related vagueness of the climate security signifier.
