“…Its ramifications have also reverberated throughout ecosystems and are foreseen to exacerbate in the forthcoming periods (Malhi et al, 2020;Sintayehu, 2018;Turner et al, 2020;Weiskopf et al, 2020). The former United States President, Barack Obama, articulated that climate change has transcended the realm of future speculation and is unfolding (Benegal, 2018;Calderwood, 2019;Kverndokk, 2020;Telford, 2020) (Arias et al, 2019). This susceptibility is primarily attributed to their substantial reliance on economic sectors exceptionally sensitive to environmental degradation and climate change, engendering a profound and adverse impact on agriculture, health, and other pivotal economic domains (Agovino et al, 2019;Bruce M et al, 2018;Clapp et al, 2018;Kompas et al, 2018;Swinburn et al, 2019).…”

Background: Climate change has threatened humanity and brought about serious impacts for at least two decades. The terrible threat can be addressed through social media. Purpose: This study examined how Indonesian millennials use social media to discuss and advocate for climate change. Methods: It employed mixed methods to combine climate change data from scholarly sources and strategic communication strategies in social media campaigns. Results: The results indicated a predominant presence of millennials, particularly in the 20-29 age group, using Instagram as the primary platform for climate change discussions. Social media highlighted limited engagement with experts and concerns about misinformation and emphasized the vital role of celebrities and influencers in climate change campaigns on social media. Conclusion: The research suggested that social media platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp facilitate climate change discussions among Indonesian millennials. They enable tailored communication strategies and emphasize the potential for social media campaigns to influence a certain behavior. This research also emphasizes the need for a combined approach involving online and offline channels, better climate change education, and collaboration. Implications: The findings underscore the necessity for Indonesia’s climate change advocacy to integrate offline and online communication strategies that are tailored to individual preferences and enhance millennials’ understanding through targeted education and social media campaigns. Public figures may also be involved for broader impacts.

“…A környezeti szektorban -mely a gazdaságihoz hasonlóan a terrorizmus hatásaival foglalkozik és emiatt terrorizmus fogalmat külön nem alkot -a terrorizmus hatásai magában foglalják a terrorista táborok, bázisok, tréningek szén-dioxid kibocsátását, energia fogyasztását (például főzés, fűtés, áram, benzin) ugyanúgy, mint a fegyvergyártáshoz szükséges fémek, vegyi anyagok felhasználását is, mely természetesen a terrorizmus elleni küzdelemben részt vevő rendészeti és katonai erőknél is megjelenik (Bildrici & Gokmenoglu, 2020). E körben a klímaváltozás-terrorizmus-radikalizáció összefüggései is vizsgálat tárgyát képezik ma már (Telford, 2020). A társadalmi szektort jelen tanulmányomban kiterjesztően értelmezem, és nem csak a szektorra jellemző nyelvi, kulturális, identitás, nemzeti öntudat elemeit vizsgálom a terrorizmus szemüvegén keresztül, hanem a társadalomtudományok fogalmait is, mely tudományoknak alapvető vizsgálati tárgya a táradalom és így a társadalmi szektor.…”

Cél: Annak ellenére, hogy ma a terrorizmus vitathatatlanul a nemzetközi, regionális, nemzeti és humán biztonságot is veszélyeztető egyik veszélyforrás, a tudományos élet is küzd a terrorizmus egységes fogalmának meghatározásával. Az elmúlt évtizedekben a terrorizmussal kapcsolatos kutatások során számos új terrorizmus fogalmat alkottak. Ezek a fogalmak nem tudták létrehozni az egységes, általánosan elfogadott terrorizmus definíciót, és sok esetben csak a terrorizmus jelenségének egy-egy új megjelenési formáját határozták meg. Szinte minden kutató igyekezett saját fogalmat alkotni, melyet nagyban befolyásolt a kutató saját értékrendje, szubjektív megközelítése. A cikk célja, hogy új módon, a fogalmakat a biztonsági tanulmányok Buzan-féle szektorelméletében, az öt szektorba ágyazva bemutassa, megvizsgálja a terrorizmus egységesen elfogadott definiálásának problémáját a hazai és nemzetközi tudományos kutatásokban. Az öt szektor közül külön is kiemelve a társadalmi szektort mint a társadalomtudományokat magában foglalót.Módszertan: A hazai és nemzetközi kutatások terrorizmus fogalmainak ismertetésével bemutatom, hogy az egységes terrorizmus-definíció megalkotásának, melyek a legfőbb akadályai, és választ adjak azon kérdésekre, hogy a terrorizmust hogyan, milyen formában, korlátok és keretek között lehetne meghatározni. A bemutatás teljesen új megközelítésből történik, mert a terrorizmus fogalmát a szektorelmélet felől keresem.Megállapítások: Az egyes szektorokban nincsen egységes, mindenki által elfogadott terrorizmus-fogalom.Érték: A cikk javaslatai új megközelítési módokat mutat be, amelyek szóba jöhetnek olyan terrorizmus-definíciók megalkotásánál, amelyek alapjául szolgálhatnak új és szélesebb körben elfogadott büntetőjogi definíció megalkotása során, és ezek alkalmazhatók a büntetőjog területén.

“…A small but growing body of the literature on climate change has focused on the interplay between climate change and terrorism (Asaka, 2021;Nett and Rüttinger, 2016;Renard, 2008;Telford, 2020). This strand of research mostly looks at the effects of climate change on already established terrorist groups and organisations.…”

Climate Change and Violent Extremism in North Africa

As climate change intensifies in many parts of the world, more and more policymakers are concerned with its effects on human security and violence. From Lake Chad to the Philippines, including Afghanistan and Syria, some violent extremist (VE) groups such as Boko Haram and the Islamic State exploit crises and conflicts resulting from environmental stress to recruit more followers, expand their influence and even gain territorial control. In such cases, climate change may be described as a “risk multiplier” that exacerbates a number of conflict drivers. Against this backdrop, this case study looks at the relationship between climate change and violent extremism in North Africa, and more specifically the Maghreb countries Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia, which are all affected by climate change and violent extremism. There are three justifications for this thematic and geographical focus. Firstly, these countries are affected by climate change in multiple ways: water scarcity, temperature variations and desertification are only a few examples of the numerous cross- border impacts of climate change in this region. Secondly, these three countries have been and remain affected by the activity of violent extremist groups such as Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), the Islamic State organisation (IS) and their respective affiliated groups. Algeria endured a civil war from 1991 to 2002 in which Islamist groups opposed the government, while Morocco and Tunisia have been the targets of multiple terrorist attacks by jihadist individuals and organisations. Thirdly, the connection between climate change and violent extremism has received much less attention in the literature than other climate-related security risks. Although empirical research has not evidenced a direct relationship between climate change and violent extremism, there is a need to examine the ways they may feed each other or least intersect in the context of North African countries. Hence, this study concentrates on the ways violent extremism can reinforce vulnerability to the effects of climate change and on the potential effects of climate change on vulnerability to violent extremism. While most of the existing research on the interplay between climate change and violent extremism concentrates on terrorist organisations (Asaka, 2021; Nett and Rüttinger, 2016; Renard, 2008), this case study focuses on the conditions, drivers and patterns that can lead individuals to join such groups in North Africa. In other words, it looks at the way climate change can exacerbate a series of factors that are believed to lead to violent radicalisation – “a personal process in which individuals adopt extreme political, social, and/or religious ideals and aspirations, and where the attainment of particular goals justifies the use of indiscriminate violence” (Wilner and Dubouloz, 2010: 38). This approach is needed not only to anticipate how climate change could possibly affect violent extremism in the medium and long run but also to determine whether and how the policy responses to both phenomena should intersect in the near future. Does climate change affect the patterns of violent extremism in North Africa? If so, how do these phenomena interact in this region? To answer these questions, the case study paper first gives an overview of the threat posed by violent extremism in the countries of study and examines the drivers and factors that are believed to lead to violent extremism in North Africa. Secondly, it discusses how these drivers could be affected by the effects of climate change on resources, livelihoods, mobility and other factors. Finally, an attempt is made to understand the possible interactions between climate change and violent extremism in the future and the implications for policymaking.
