The inaugural World Climate and Security Report 2020 from the Expert Group of the International Military Council on Climate and Security (IMCCS) provides global and regional assessments of the security risks of a changing climate, as well as opportunities for addressing them. It is the first report of its kind and is intended to inform future climate and security policy and analysis. This report addresses a broad spectrum of the security risks of climate change, including:

• Where human security risks spill over into higher-order security risks, such as political instability, conflict, major natural disasters involving the significant military and humanitarian responses, mass displacements of peoples, and threats to critical resources and infrastructure

• Geopolitical impacts of climate change including regional and inter-state tensions and conflicts

• Impacts of climate change on military and defense, including military infrastructure, force readiness, military operations and military strategy
