Increasing Risks for Armed Conflict: Climate Change, Food and Water Insecurity, and Forced Displacement.

Increasing Risks for Armed Conflict: Climate Change, Food and Water Insecurity, and Forced Displacement. Int J Health Serv. 2019 Apr 26;:20731419845249 Authors: Levy BS Abstract The interrelated factors of climate change, decreased access to freshwater, and forced displacement are heightening the risk of armed conflict. Higher temperatures and extremes of precipitation are contributing to food and water insecurity, forced displacement, and sociopolitical tensions. Health professionals can help to address these problems through education, advocacy, and other activities that aim to mitigate and adapt to climate change and minimize the risk of armed conflict.
