About

This course offers students from all majors the opportunity to join an interdisciplinary research team that will explore multiple dimensions of climate change and its connections to human security. Climate change threatens human security. It can undermine people’s livelihoods and basic sustenance needs as climate change influences access to food, water, shelter, employment opportunities and public health. Climate change can displace people as extreme weather events increase, the resource base changes or economies are disrupted. Climate change can impact political stability as climate change destabilizes the government institutions that provide public goods and weakens states unable to cope with climate impacts. Climate change is also a threat multiplier that can aggravate existing vulnerabilities.Populations that are dependent on the resource base, live in relative deprivation, have limited mobility or are socially or politically marginalized, will feel the impacts of climate change more acutely. In fragile states or states prone to violent conflict the risks to human security are even more substantial.
