Is it a given that we'll see wars as a result of climate change? Can it be avoided somehow? Guess not but would be nice if we could!

Hi thanks for your message. I hope that if more people begin to see what the consequences of Climate change is doing to our security, that might get more people involved in the subject and possible put pressure on our elected representatives or join NGO's who are dealing with this subject . I think everyday we see new signs that Climate change and security issues are related and it's being increasingly talked about.

Thanks for the question. As saying goes, we are champions of our own destiny. So, in many respects, the answer to your first question is 'no'. They are not fait accompli - we have the ability to shape our own future. To avoid the climate stresses, first priority is decarbonisation of the global economy. This is happening, but the rate of change is slow. The basic equation is that a reduction in global emissions reduces the threat posed by climate change. So, that is key.
