ABSTRACT
The approaches to the concept of ‘environmental security’ have been varied. Research on the links between environment and security has produced studies on environmental scarcity as a principal driver that could fuel violent con icts. However, focusing solely on con ict, rather than on security, only partially avoids the di culties in the de nition of the concept. In the paper entitled ‘Climate Change and International Security’,1 the European Union (EU) outlines some of the forms of con- icts driven by climate change that may occur in di erent regions of the world and the security risks associated with them.
