Environmental and Socio-Political Security Risks Correlation in Mountainous Areas
<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" class="first" dir="auto" id="d2215779e68">The article is devoted to the study of the relationship between risks for the systems of environmental and socio-political security of mountainous territories (countries, regions) based on a special methodology developed in [5], as the main barriers to achieving sustainable development of mountainous territories and regional socio-political stability. In [5], the author introduced a new concept - “Climate Conflict Vulnerability Index” (CCVİ) as a unique metric for assessing the relationship between climate change and socio-political risks. Calculated using a special formula, CCVİ determines the degree of predisposition or inclination of any country, including mountainous ones, to the negative impact of climate conflicts as direct and indirect consequences of global climate change. This paper focuses on mountainous countries and regions in terms of conducting a correlation analysis of environmental and socio-political security risks, taking into account their specificity in terms of direct and indirect impact of climate change on mountainous areas, their cultural, socio-economic life, religious and mental characteristics, social traits, etc. In addition, the article analyzes some potential risks of climate conflicts in the Caucasus region, as well as the role of international cooperation institutions in the timely prevention of such political risks. </p>
