[QUOTE="AlexB23, post: 77640092, member: 450900"] Here is a paper from 2015 that describes the instability caused by climate change: [URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4622275/']Climate change, conflict and health[/URL] I can summarize it, if you want me to: The journal article "Climate change, conflict and health", published in 2015, discusses the relationship between climate change, conflict, and health, highlighting the significant but neglected impact of climate-related conflicts on health outcomes. Although climate change's direct effect on health is relatively small, its indirect consequences, such as pressure on health determinants and the risk of violent conflict, pose a considerable challenge to global health. Analysts suggest that climate change functions as a 'risk multiplier', escalating the chances of conflict over scarce resources. Reduced availability of essential resources and sociopolitical changes stemming from climate change can create conditions that enhance conflict risk. Weak governance and civil institutions exacerbate these risks. Moreover, climate change can influence how conflicts are fought and their duration, contributing to prolonged instability. Despite the significance of this issue, the public health literature pays scant attention to climate change-related conflicts. The authors encourage greater engagement from the public health sector in addressing this growing concern. Drawing on contemporary examples, the paper highlights the role of climate change in exacerbating tensions and catalyzing conflicts in various regions, including Darfur, Syria, and Mali. To minimize the risk of climate change-associated conflict, the authors advocate for strong climate change mitigation efforts combined with effective adaptation strategies. Emphasizing the connection between climate change, population health, and conflict can motivate health workers to play a more influential role in promoting international cooperation and energy transition. Framing climate change as a health issue fosters a collaborative approach to combating shared challenges, ultimately improving prospects for a secure and healthy future. [/QUOTE]
