One of the main problems humanity is currently experiencing is climate change. The threat posed by climate change is well acknowledged.

The purpose of this study is to analyze how the European Union addresses the security challenges related to climate change, and how those actions impact the environment and human security. The qualitative methodology will be used for this study. Analyzing case studies and doing literature reviews are both components of the qualitative approach. The literature review will be compiled and examined the current studies, reports, and policy documents on climate change, security, and EU policies. There will be two case studies to focus this study, Agostinho and Others v Portugal and 32 Other States case study and Urgenda Foundation v. State of the Netherlands case for the case study. In order to better understand the instances, It will be collected and evaluated both primary and secondary materials, such as court records, policy documents, articles, and other research. This analysis will explain how the EU has handled the security issues brought on by climate change as well as how EU policies have affected human security and environmental security.

Abstract
One of the main problems humanity is currently experiencing is climate change. The threat posed by climate change is well acknowledged. Although it has been discovered that research on the security implications of climate change has a significant impact on policymaking, experts have not come to a consensus regarding the relationship between climate change and human security, leaving the climate-security nexus and corresponding policies in need of development (Martinez, 2020). Another development was the framing of climate change as a security concern. As Brown and Crowd have stated, we are beginning to realize the speed and extent of climate change, and the way it threatens this rapid change. It will undermine the economic and political stability of much of the world in the coming years. Problems such as where we will find water, where we can live, and where we can grow food will be the biggest reason for this undermining. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the European Union addresses the security challenges related to climate change, and how those actions impact the environment and human security. The qualitative methodology will be used for this study. Analyzing case studies and doing literature reviews are both components of the qualitative approach. The literature review will be compiled and examined the current studies, reports, and policy documents on climate change, security, and EU policies. There will be two case studies to focus this study, Agostinho and Others v Portugal and 32 Other States case study and Urgenda Foundation v. State of the Netherlands case for the case study. In order to better understand the instances, It will be collected and evaluated both primary and secondary materials, such as court records, policy documents, articles, and other research. This analysis will explain how the EU has handled the security issues brought on by climate change as well as how EU policies have affected human security and environmental security.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
