Abstract

With widespread droughts, tsunamis, frequent earthquakes, heatwaves, flooding and extreme weather changes, we have entered into a state of Anthropocene. This term well suits the current situation of human beings where they have become so powerful and chaotic that the future of planet is in their hands and they have the power to cause great geological changes. Today the climate is highly unpredictable and uncertain all because of the recklessness of human beings living on this planet. At present and in future we will bear witness to extreme catastrophes and climate related challenges where species will be on a verge to go extinct and there is a possibility for fresh water, food and energy to deplete completely. Due to this, conflict and instability will exacerbate and these challenges are what we call security issues. This will cause great problems not just for the people but also for the states. The research will focus on issues related to global security due to climate change and highlight significance of it in policymaking institutions.
