Abstract

An essay is presented on how climate change may affect international relations and health. It states that climate change may lead to scarcity of natural resources which could result in migration which in return may lead to conflict in some way or the other and even resource scarcity may lead countries to fight over resources. It mentions that climate change could affect health in two ways which are directly through floods and heat waves or indirectly through violent conflicts between countries.
