CEVAP:

Security threats emanated from global environmental problems present four future political dilemmas:

1. Environmental threats are usually less clear-cut and direct than other security threats. They are like threats without enemies.

2. Threats such as global warming and ozone depletion are mostly perceived as longer term emergencies rather than imminent attacks and disasters.

3. Environmental threats are often accompanied by significant economic, social and political costs. Unsolved, they may lead to the creation of environmental refugees in the future.

4. They are only confronted by a globally coordinated holistic approach with political, economic, social, and educational actions
