Climate Change, Infectious Disease and International Conflict

Posted by on in Social Sciences

A reading that discusses the impact of climate change on health, security and international conflict. It discusses how climate change can cause the spread of vector-borne disease across geopolitical borders and thus lead to security issues and conflict. 

Students will learn about the interlinkages between climate change and global health. They will be introduced to ‘Health Security’ and how it is impacted due to extreme weather events and natural disasters.  Students will further understand the role of climate change and global health in disease transmission across geopolitical borders and potential security issues such as migration, refugee crises and human rights that may arise from it. 

Use this tool to help your students find answers to: 

  1. How are climate change, health and security interconnected? Discuss how this interlinkage can lead to political instability and international conflict.
  2. How has climate change caused the spread of vector-borne and infectious diseases? 
  3. Discuss potential security issues that will arise from climate change.
