Does a connection exist between environmental degradation, resource scarcity and violent conflicts? Global environmental changes, such as climate change and sea level rise, shortage of fresh water and rapid soil degradation increasingly highlight the dimensions of environmental change in foreign and security policy. To reverse these negative environmental consequences over the long term, comprehensive and preventive policy approaches are urgently required.This state-of-the-art book contains numerous articles by renown German-speaking experts from different scientific disciplines as well as international and European political advisors and diplomats. Together they discuss the complex causes of environmentally induced conflicts and the political and societal mechanisms for conflict prevention.

Besteht ein Zusammenhang zwischen Umweltzerstörung, Ressourcenknappheit und gewaltsamen Konflikten? Globale Umweltveränderungen, wie der Klimawandel und der Anstieg des Meeresspiegels, Verknappung des Süßwassers und fortschreitende Bodendegradation lassen zunehmend die außen- und sicherheitspolitische Dimension der Umweltpolitik erkennen. Es sind vor allem schleichende und nur langfristig umkehrbare Entwicklungen, die ein entschiedenes politisches und gesellschaftliches Handeln erfordern.Dieser Band vereint Beiträge namhafter deutschsprachiger Experten verschiedener wissenschaftlicher Disziplinen sowie Politikberater und Diplomaten, die gemeinsam der Frage nach den komplexen Ursachen umweltinduzierter Konflikte und ihrer politischen und gesellschaftlichen Bearbeitung nachgehen.
