Is climate change a security risk?

November 5, 2013

ARCHIV - Nach heftigen Monsun-Regenfällen bahnen sich am 29.08.2008 in der Nähe von Madhurganj in Indien Einwohner ihren Weg durch überflutete Straßen. Der fortschreitende Klimawandel bedroht direkt das Leben vieler Millionen Menschen auf dem Planeten. Die Berichte von Wissenschaftlern über die Auswirkungen wie Stürme, Dürren oder Überschwemmungen sind alarmierend und haben eine weitere Dimension: Klimaflüchtlinge. Bis zum Jahr 2050 könnten rund 200 Millionen Menschen wegen des Klimawandels ihre Existenzgrundlagen verlieren. Das berichteten UN- Organisationen und internationale Hilfsorganisationen am Mittwoch (10.06.2009) auf der UN-Klimakonferenz in Bonn.
