National security in a changing climate

The Economist examines how climate change is becoming a core national security concern, as rising temperatures, extreme weather and resource pressures strain militaries, borders and governments worldwide. The argument is that defense planning can no longer treat climate as a distant environmental issue but as an immediate driver of conflict, migration and instability that security institutions must prepare for.

Why now: Climate impacts are increasingly framed as security threats, prompting debate over how defense and foreign policy should adapt.
