Climate Change Concerns for North Korean Security
The first in a series of videos exploring non-traditional security challenges in the context of North Korea. This episode will focus on the impact of climate change.
Security concerns relating to North Korea are often confined to Pyongyang’s military belligerence, the ongoing development of its nuclear and missile programmes, and the country’s atrocious human rights record. Much less attention is paid to the impact of climate change. In this video, Cristina Varriale, RUSI Associate Fellow, explores how climate change implications relate to conventional security risks, and what this might mean for existing international policies designed to mitigate security threats from North Korea.
