Note(s) : Global Warming and Climate Change is centred on the comparison of policies implemented
in Asia and Europe for dealing with the principal consequences of climate change,
and its possible impacts on conflicts and security. The book explores the impacts
of global warming and climate change on natural resources, particularly water and
food; and on the frequency and expansion of natural disasters. It looks at the critical
repercussions that can be foreseen on environmentally-induced migration as a consequence
of these issues. The book explains the Asian and European policies of mitigation and
adaptation, as crucial elements of conflict prevention. It presents the asymmetries
that exist between Asia and Europe in terms of conflict prevention, and the implications
of climate change for human security and the security of states.
"This book looks at the principal consequences of climate change and its possible
