Abstract

Climate change and environmental degradation are significant threats to the survival of humanity. However, existing research focuses on the nexus between climate change and environmental degradation, highlighting the causes that strengthen the relationship. Despite experts expressing strong sentiments about the two phenomena being risks to global security, the assertions have drawn inadequate attention from scholars and practitioners, who prioritize illustrating the causes and impacts of climate change and environmental degradation instead. This narrative review aims to fill the gap by presenting evidence that affirms the theory about climate change and environmental degradation being primary security concerns for contemporary society. Climate change and environmental degradation cause security concerns through threats to military infrastructure and installations, depletion of resources leading to conflicts over disputed claims, and displacement of people, causing migration and refugees. Therefore, mitigating the causes of climate change is the most plausible strategy for reducing the threat to national and global security. Article visualizations:

气候变化和环境退化：对全球安全的严重威胁

气候变化和环境退化是对人类生存的重大威胁。然而，现有研究的重点是气候变化与环境退化之间的关系，强调加强这种关系的原因。尽管专家们对这两种现象对全球安全构成的风险表达了强烈的看法，但这些论断并未引起学者和从业人员的足够重视，相反，他们优先考虑说明气候变化和环境退化的原因和影响。本叙述性综述旨在通过提供证据，证实气候变化和环境退化是当代社会首要安全问题的理论，从而填补这一空白。气候变化和环境退化会对军事基础设施和设施造成威胁，导致资源枯竭，从而引发有争议的冲突，并使人们流离失所，造成移民和难民，从而引发安全问题。因此，减少气候变化的原因是降低国家和全球安全威胁的最可行战略。文章可视化：
