“…Violent conflict changes those structural conditions perhaps more than any other external factor. And, simultaneously, conflict also alters and challenges the feasibility of implementing climate change adaptation programming (Abrahams, 2021;Black et al, 2022;Mercy Corps, 2023a;Vogler, 2023). The increasing severity of climate shocks and increasing rate of conflict worldwide means this dangerous-and deeply inequitable-dynamic may prove to be the defining challenge of international development in the coming decade.…”

“…Historically, the relationship between climate change and conflict has primarily been framed as a threat multiplier (e.g., Goodman & Baudu, 2023;Vogler, 2023), whereby climate change exacerbates conflict risk through different pathways that link ecological shocks with social, cultural, and political risks (Dabelko et al, 2022;Mercy Corps, 2023b;Sitati et al, 2021). However, focusing solely on how climate change can affect conflict is limiting (Abrahams & Carr, 2017), and often elides the many ways in which conflict can increase vulnerability to climate change by decreasing adaptive capacity (Dabelko et al, 2022;Mercy Corps, 2023b;Sitati et al, 2021).…”

In this article, we examine the ways conflict can drive climate change vulnerability and, in turn, argue that conflict mitigation can act as a means of climate change adaptation. We identify three key ways in which conflict mitigation enhances adaptation opportunities: (a) addressing conflict dynamics increases opportunities to address climate risks; (b) grounded analysis of conflict dynamics often reveals high-value opportunities for climate change-oriented programs as well as potential maladaptations to be avoided; and (c) conflict mitigation interventions which rely heavily on governance can be leveraged in climate change adaptation efforts. This has multiple implications for global climate change policy, especially when one considers key climate security outcomes emanating from international policy discussions such as COP 28. We conclude this article by identifying three under-examined—and practical—lines of inquiry that would address key knowledge gaps in how to fortify climate resilience in conflict-affected regions.

Injustice and poverty as a threat to the national security of Ukraine

Injustice, poverty, socio-economic inequality are analyzed from the point of view of factors that threaten the national security of Ukraine. The sources of injustice lie in the nature of man, his natural selfishness, the desire to satisfy his needs at the expense of other people. Social injustice manifests itself in conflicts between society and the government, and individuals. Economic manifestations of injustice are noticeable when the principle of equivalence of remuneration for an individual’s work is violated in social relations or there is non-equivalent punishment for the damage caused. Injustice in the sphere of political relations manifests itself as a violation of the rights and freedoms of citizens guaranteed by current legislation. Injustice in legal relations appears as a violation of the principle of equality of all citizens before the law. Achieving socio-economic equality is hindered by corruption, which is a huge threat to national security. The consequence of injustice is the stratification of society into rich and poor, the destruction of the middle class. Injustice has a specific effect on political relations, the implementation of state policy at all levels, and makes the formation of civil society impossible. The result of this form of people’s life is marginalization and socio-economic degradation of society, which leads to crises, conflicts, anomie, tensions and social explosions. Injustice, poverty, and socioeconomic inequality are significant threats to national security. Modern science should investigate the main factors of the reproduction of social injustice, find ways to overcome poverty and introduce an effective mechanism for the elimination of social and economic inequality. In view of the spread of corruption in Ukraine, failure to bring corrupt officials to justice, which is provided for by the current legislation, and other violations of the law, we can also talk about legal inequality, which is unacceptable in a civilized state and is the greatest threat to the national security of Ukraine.
