“…Thus, the only occurrence of an indirect link between climate change and maritime security can be found via migration. The literature has suggested that climate change (negatively) impacts on food security and population well-being, then potentially generating (illegal) migration or human trafficking, with migrants travelling (or being trafficked) by sea (Jasparro and Taylor 2008 ; Kaye 2012 ), thus a link to maritime criminality and maritime security issues.…”

“…Academics and practitioners alike seem to have somewhat neglected the actual interlinkages between the two sets of issues. In other words, the links and dependencies between climate change and maritime security have not been the focus of many studies (rare examples include Cordner 2010 ; Jasparro 2009 ; Jasparro and Taylor 2008 ; Kaye 2012 ; Mazaris and Germond 2018 ; Rahman 2012 ; Rahman and Tsamenyi 2010 ). Against this backdrop, this article aims to unravel the extent to which this narrative is indeed absent from political discourses or whether there are embryonic signs of its development.…”

Climate change and maritime security narrative: the case of the international maritime organisation

Both climate change and maritime security are currently ranking high on states' and international organisations' political and governance agendas. However, academics and practitioners alike have hardly tackled the actual interlinkages and dependencies between the two issues. Taking the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as a case study, this article pioneers the use of corpus linguistic method to unravel the nonexistence of a narrative linking climate change impacts and the occurrence of maritime criminality despite some connections in practice. However, direct narrative links between climate change and migration as well as migration and maritime security were found, which can point at an indirect link between climate change and maritime security. The article concludes on the implications of these findings for academics and practitioners alike. The latter are encouraged to reflect on their current narrative in a bid to contribute to a better acknowledgement of the existing links between the impacts of climate change on natural and human systems and aspects of maritime security.

“…The need or incentive to engage in maritime criminal activities may be increased by the impact climate change has on communities' economic well-being, since maritime crime becomes a means to compensate for insufficient or decreased revenue (Axbard, 2016;Nordqvist and Krampe, 2018;Storey, 2008) and for a decrease in well-being and poverty in general (Liss, 2013;Rahman, 2012). In addition to poverty and pressures on economic security, climate change is also likely to impact on states' ability to control their territory and population (Kaye, 2012) and thus on their capacity to prevent, control or limit conflicts and criminality (Jasparro and Taylor, 2008). In other words, vulnerability to climate change and vulnerability to maritime criminality go hand in hand (Cordner, 2017;Jasparro and Taylor, 2008;Kaye, 2012).…”

Climate change has been recognised as a major issue for coastal populations. Under this context, the potential socioeconomic , environmental and health impacts at local, regional and global scales have received considerable attention by scientists. The knowledge gained feed official strategic documents, which aim to increase awareness but also propose and apply management and mitigation measures towards reducing risks for human beings and the natural environment. Dependencies between human security, social vulnerability of coastal communities and the occurrence of maritime crime have also been studied. There is a consensus on the need to deepen the understanding of the links between climate change effects and threats to maritime security, but it remains to be seen if existing knowledge on the interplay between climate change and maritime security has been translated into policy. This article offers a synthesis on recent evidence and knowledge gained to elaborate the nexus between climate change impacts, social vulnerabilities and the occurrence of maritime criminality. We further explore the extent to which official documents account for the maritime dimension of climate change security. Despite the existence of an embryonic official discourse linking climate change and maritime security, our analysis reveals significant gaps between the concerns raised by the academic community and what is acknowledged in national and regional official strategic documents. Informing decisionmakers and stakeholders about the possible dependencies between climate change and maritime security is thus a crucial step towards improving global ocean governance.
