This paper examines the existing and potential impacts of climate change on human Security, and provides the way forward to addressing the challenges of climate change on human security
This has led to a growing body of research on the aggregate estimates of the economic and social costs of climate change in terms of human mortality and morbidity, gross domestic product (GDP), infrastructure, and capital resources that may be affected by extreme events
Summary

This paper examines the existing and potential impacts of climate change on human Security, and provides the way forward to addressing the challenges of climate change on human security.
