According to Amina Muhammad, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations "Climate change is closely related to security challenges and it is necessary to treat warming as a double and multiple threat, this is because of the formation of pressure and the common pressures on the countries, social and economic pressures"
The warming earth and the "crazy" climate cause friction and wars. At the meeting of the UN Security Council, diplomats discussed the importance of recognizing global warming as a risk factor that exacerbates inter-ethnic tension, between tribes and in general between populations, a situation that leads to the recruitment of young people into the arms of terrorist groups.
According to Amina Mohammed, Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations "Climate change is closely related to security challenges and it is necessary to treat warming as a double and multiple threat, this is because of the formation of the constraint and the common pressures on the countries, social and economic pressures",
Climatic factors are a factor in escalating frictions between neighbors and tribes. according to Iraqi Water Minister Hassan Janabi, "The Middle East is an example of a situation where political instability and lack of easy access to water pose a threat to peace and stability."
Two large rivers, the Euphrates and the Tigris, flow through Iraq, but in 90% of the country's territory, a process of desertification and lack of water is developing. Two main factors for Midbor - global warming and the construction of dams in Turkey that stop and reduce the amount of water that reaches Iraq.
The lack of water causes a situation where the friction with the neighbors rises to the level of a threat of war.
One of the main causes of the uprising in Syria (in addition to the "Arab Spring") was a long-term drought that affected the livelihoods of many farmers. Former US Vice President Al Gore even paid attention to this in the sequel to his film "An Inconvenient Truth," which examined what had progressed or regressed in the decade since the first film. Spoiler - Trump.
In other parts of the world, less rains, periods of drought and an increase in temperature cause a reduction in water sources, which makes life difficult for itinerant shepherds and agricultural villages.
One of the speakers at the gathering said that "more than 80% of the inhabitants of the Sahara (the areas south of the Sahara in Africa) depend on a stable environment to live from agriculture, fishing or grazing animals. When the water sources dry up, herdsmen invade agricultural areas and local violent disputes arise that expand and turn into regional and interstate frictions, frictions that are fertile ground for the development of terrorist groups.
As a result of the friction, the economy suffers, unemployment and poverty make the residents vulnerable and easy to recruit for terrorist groups. Men, boys, children and women are "recruited" and become terrorists. Most of the convention island welcomed the discussion of the "dangers of the climate". The representatives of Sweden who sat at the head of the gathering announced the establishment of a "Centre for Climate Security" through which cooperation will be concentrated while understanding the issue, analyzing the situation and the methods of action.
The island nation's president, Nauru Barun Waka, urged the UN to send "climate security representatives" to monitor and report on problems that may arise due to warming.
According to him, "The Security Council needs improved information about the dangers that arise from climate change. There is a need for a mechanism that will analyze, identify and report on risks, with the main goal being to prevent friction and make peace."

and building dams in Turkey
Stopping and reducing the amount of water that reaches Iraq and Syria!
Erdogan's fault?
If he caused the civil war in Syria, what did the UN do about it?
I did not think that the Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations could be so narrow-minded.
In what period were there no wars in the Middle East?
The lady should open history books and learn a little about the area,
And besides: isn't it the role of the UN to help in cases of drought,
Instead of sitting on the chairs and watching how people destroy each other.
The easiest thing is to blame the climate. And maybe God too. Why not?
to the "anonymous user",
It is worth remembering that "anonymity" is a refuge even for fools who write "nonsense".
Yes, it's the heat, not Islam. Some nonsense
Let them stop the mass destruction of trees around the world and start planting forest trees in every country. And maybe it will stop global warming.
