摘要

Central policymakers, governments, climate researchers, and research funders emphasize the need to develop, formulate, and implement climate change policies. This chapter examines the present situation and prospects of global relations concerning environmental concerns, including climate change. It discusses the correlations between environmental change and armed conflict and the global policy obstacles associated with the interaction between resources and international relations. The significance of climate change and its consequences are underscored, highlighting the lack of claritty surrounding how it could escalate into a catalyst for global conflict. The advancements in Earth system research and the recognition of the Anthropocene necessitate a reassessment of environmental security concerning mitigating the most severe risks. However, the focus on mitigating the most severe consequences of climate change in the future has not entirely replaced the previous energy security efforts. If the shift is not achieved, the climate will be more disrupted, potentially necessitating geoengineering techniques, which could lead to new conflicts. Despite their efforts, securing climate change and responding to it as an emergency has not been a primary focus for most countries or the United Nations. However, the Paris Agreement recognized the gravity of the problem. Certain viewpoints are more optimistic, proposing that environmental initiatives can be utilized to advance peacebuilding and positively influence the planet’s future.
