Leverett's "The Age of Consequences"

Leverett's "The Age of Consequences" explores how environmental issues, particularly climate change, affect global security and geopolitical stability. It argues that resource scarcity, driven by climate change, can lead to conflicts over water, food, and territory, exacerbating political tensions. Leverett emphasizes that nations must recognize these links and adopt proactive measures to address environmental challenges, as failing to do so may result in heightened instability, migration crises, and potential military confrontations. Overall, it highlights the urgent need for integrated environmental and security policies to navigate the complexities of a changing world.
