Germany: National interdisciplinary climate risk assessment
This assessment outlines the risks to Germany’s national security resulting from climate change through 2040. It provides the first comprehensive overview of the many cascading and compounding climate risks.
The assessment highlights that the security risks of climate change are integral to a number of ongoing processes and transformations. Amongst them are the energy transition, the rising costs and burdens of climate change, a changing international order, growing global conflict, technological advances and emerging extremism. Strategic foresight concerning these issues involves imagining plausible future scenarios based on quantitive data and insights from the social sciences. Working at this interface, the National Interdisciplinary Climate Risk Assessment charts a path for thinking ahead.
