Abstract

International community is increasingly concerned with climate change. Over time, perceptions on this issue have changed, up to the current thread of thought which considers it one of the greatest risks for international security. The Mediterranean region in general, and in particular the Maghreb, is one of the most vulnerable geographic areas to climate change and its consequences. The regional characteristics, both human and physical, as well as the presence of hard-solving regional conflicts, aggravate climate change impacts, increase uncertainties and foster other risks and threats.
