Abstract

Climate change is a concerning issue in the present world. In both, national and international forums, there have been discussion regarding climate change and environmental deterioration as a cause of insecurity. Human activities are the leading forces behind the decline of the government as well as climate change. An intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) report depicts that global temperatures are so far the warms to have experienced since 1885. These temperatures are expected to increase further to a margin of about 6.4_o^C by the accumulation of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere which ultimately leads to increase in the water levels in the oceas and lakes. The resultant implication are displacement of people to other regions for safety. The natural and International level as people scramble for the resources disturbing peace in the affected areas. Since security is a global responsibility, various countries in a specific region required an alliance for a consorted effort to avert the impending catastrophes as a result of climate change to maintain peace among its people. Developing countries are the most predisposed to these calamities, requiring that more funds be committed to facilitating environmental friendly activities and responding to risks of climate change.
