As the planet warms , there will be many substantial global impacts , from the dwindling away of wise water supplies as glacier melt , to the prostration of fishery as reefs drop dead . But the droughts and shortage induced by this will alsolead to the uprisingof more incredibly serious global security concerns .
Anew report , collect by the Berlin - based think army tank Adelphi , argue that the jut gain in resourcefulness scarceness and societal insecurity will fuel terrorist and armed groups in region of the world where climate change will hit hard . They suggest that as climate change lend to the delicacy of part , it increases conflict surrounding natural resources . This , in turn , make population more vulnerable to negative effect of mood change , and thus recruitment by terrorist organization .
Not only that , but the report has also find that terrorist organizations are also increasingly using born resourcesas a artillery . In tenuous environments and part in which resources such as water and nutrient are scarce , groups are impeding approach to these items and then using this as purchase . This creates a cycle in which the imagination become scarcer , and is a practice that is further exasperate by climate change as it keep to alter and limit these resources .
“ Looking at the interplay between climate change , frangibleness and [ non - state armed groups ] , ” the authors write , “ there is a risk of infection that the feedback grummet and complex interaction make vicious cycles of increasing mood impact , vulnerability , violence , conflict , and breakability . ”
This has led to the rise of many armed groups in the region , include that of ISIS , which has become a major surety threat not only locally , but on a global layer too . In West Africa , another major terrorist group , Boko Haram , is alsothought to owe its origins , again in part , to the regional drought that has gripped the northeastward of Nigeria . This force group of multitude and Farmer into ever shrinking pocket , providing a unadulterated recruiting ground for the organization , which has die on to be a major threat to the authorities and region as a whole .
The authors do tenseness , though , that clime change is not causing terrorist act , but providing the conditions in which it can boom .
