Synopsis
This book explores the complex origins and impacts of climate change, examining both natural and human-driven factors in the Euro-Mediterranean region. It will assess how climate shifts increase the frequency and intensity of natural hazards, such as seismic, atmospheric, and volcanic events. These risks are analyzed within the unique geographic, economic, and social landscape of the region, focusing on the vulnerability of infrastructure, ecosystems, and populations. Case studies from Jordan and Italy will provide practical insights: Jordan faces water scarcity and desertification, while Italy, with its extensive coastline and active seismic zones, contends with overlapping climate and hazard risks. These examples highlight adaptive responses and offer valuable lessons applicable to similar areas. Focusing on NATO’s Southern Flank, the publication examines the security implications of climate change, including migration, resource conflicts, and heightened risks to military installations. It addresses how climate resilience and disaster preparedness are increasingly important to regional security. The book also delves into strategies for mitigating catastrophic events, featuring advanced multi-risk analysis techniques like satellite-based hazard mapping, probabilistic risk assessment, and scenario planning. Finally, it covers crisis management methods, including early warning systems, cross-border collaboration, and community-based risk reduction programs, aiming to strengthen regional resilience against natural threats. This work is designed as a resource for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers focused on enhancing stability and security in the Euro-Mediterranean area.
