Climate change has been identified as one of the greatest threats
to humanity of all times. In addition to producing adverse
environmental conditions such as rising sea level, drought, crop
failure, vector-borne diseases, extreme events, degradation of
water/air quality and heat waves, climate change is also considered
a threat multiplier that leads to local and international conflicts
and armed interventions. Urban areas may bear the brunt of climate
change, as they are the centers of human habitation, anthropogenic
stressors and environmental degradation, and the ensuing health
impacts are of grave societal concern. The papers in this volume
span a suite of climate change repercussions, paying particular
attention to national security and human health aspects. It is an
outcome of a NATO Advanced Research Workshop held during April
28-30, 2011 in Dubrovnik, Croatia, sponsored by the NATO Science
for Peace and Security Program. The contributions cut across the
elements of modeling, natural, political and social sciences,
engineering, politics, military intervention, urban planning,
industrial activities, epidemiology and healthcare.
