It is considered a multiplier of a range of security threats from conflict exacerbation to migration, water, food and health security. This course is designed to equip participants with both conceptual and practical tools for understanding the climate change and its impact on the global, regional and local security environment and devising possible solutions to address this multifaceted challenge.
