"Climate Change".- Climate change is the major environmental and socioeconomic challenge of the 21st century. It poses challenges of far-reaching importance to security, such as shortage of drinking water, major changes in the conditions of food production, greater competition for energy resources and an increase in certain natural disasters such as floods, storms, droughts, forest fires and heat waves. These environmental changes can exacerbate migratory pressure and accordingly heighten tension in areas of transit and destination, and even increase the fragility of some States. It is a key element which can become a threat multiplier. However, it also provides an opportunity to shape a new, more sustainable model of development. (NSS 2013).
