Climate change is no longer just about the environment, it has become a serious threat to global peace and security. This article examines how increased temperatures, natural disasters, and loss of resources such as water and land can result in conflict, migration, and instability. Climate change aggravates existing issues in the world, particularly among nations that are already politically unstable, or are facing other challenges. Through the use of actual examples in regions such as the Sahel region, Lake Chad, and Syria, this article shows how environment related problems may result in violence and unrest in the global arena. The article also discusses the way international organizations like the United Nations, African Union, and European Union are starting to think of climate change as a matter of security. Treaties like the Paris Agreement and steps taken by certain nations are instances of this increasing consciousness. Furthermore, this article is particularly concerned with how these issues impact the Global South the most. It demands global action to lower climate threats, promote peace-building, and sustain development. To address these issues, we need to consider climate security as a vital component of international peace efforts.
