Climate change could develop a direct and more obvious correlation with political violence. The effects of climate change are well known – drought, famine and mass migration. Each of these may have a significant impact on the already heightened world tensions and predicted increase in political violence. Already unstable governments may struggle with the increasing needs of their populations in response to a heating planet and changing international views on the subject of foreign aid. The political violence and terrorism market will need to be wary in the coming 12 months when it comes to risks located in areas bearing the brunt of climate change.
