The Impact of Climate Change on National Security

Abstract

The purpose of the presented scientific work was: a historical review and identification of the main root causes of the emergence of threatening natural phenomena on the planet; outlining of key areas and sectors of the population's life; analysis of the influence of society and official authorities on the control and management of issues in the field of natural disasters; modelling of possible consequences and ways to solve the most threatening problems due to climate change. The main method of scientific cognition that was used in writing this article is the system-analytical method, with the help of which, using the processes of analysis and modelling, the causes were identified, the directions of direct impact were outlined and logical alternatives and solutions to the problems that have arisen against the background of climate change and natural disasters were provided. The main results obtained during the study of the presented topics are as follows: the main causes of the onset of irreversible climate change on the planet are identified; the most vulnerable to natural anomalies areas of public and state direction are highlighted; common methods and means of climate change control are studied. The authors conclude that future climate change impacts will intensify unless mitigation efforts are increased, thereby not only neutralizing, but also potentially benefiting, humanity and Earth's future.
