Consumer dominated forums such as the G20 are likely to play a far more important role in energy security moving forward than producer-consumer dialogues.
Nuclear proliferation
Counter-proliferation mechanisms will need to be greatly strengthened if nuclear power is to be deployed at a scale which would make a real difference to climate change. Climate change will be used as a political mask for some states to acquire nuclear technology for military purposes, and development and sharing of more benign energy alternatives is the best protection against this. A major climate change disaster in the next decade would also drive pressure for a “crash programme” of rapid deployment of nuclear power worldwide; at rates which would compromise the ability of the current nuclear industry supply chain to preserve safety or security. Research and development into the next generation of proliferation resistant and modular safe reactors currently seems unlikely to produce a commercial alternative to current reactor designs before 2025-30.
The UK has already placed this issue on the agenda for the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty) Review conference in 2010, and its importance will doubtless rise over the coming decade.
Borders and resources
Rising sea levels and melting ice caps in the Arctic are already leading to territorial disputes between major powers. The disappearance of small islands could release valuable marine resources into the already contested waters of the Indian Ocean, Pacific and South China Sea. The rights of environmental refugees and migrants will become a source of national and international tensions, especially in delta regions such as Bangladesh, Nigeria and Egypt. Fisheries stocks will collapse or move, destroying millions of people’s livelihoods and undermining delicately negotiated international management regimes. The EU Common Fisheries Policy will not survive in its present form.
Countries will respond to the forecasts of more erratic water flows in all major river basins by building new upstream dams and water storage. Such “climate change adaptation” will drive cross-border tensions in the next decade, including the potential for armed inter-state conflict. Any international adaptation funding under the UNFCCC which affects transboundary water flows should be made conditional on adoption of a “climate change resilient” water sharing agreement.
Strengthened international rules and more activist preventative diplomacy from the international community will be needed to peacefully manage changes in shared water and fisheries resources, and to preserve the rights of displaced people and states. Many of these issues are likely to emerge in the UN Security Council if not dealt with adequately in specialised parts of the international systems.
Preventing Conflict and Instability
Climate change is already increasing conflict risks in unstable regions – especially Africa – as fragile governance systems are overwhelmed by the social stresses released by drought, famine, flood, migration, extreme weather events and rising sea levels.
Over the next decades, the determinant of whether climate change drives serious conflict lies in how political systems respond to the tensions it creates. Too often, analysis of climate change impact assumes that all governments will act to maximise the common good in response to change. But resource management regimes in much of the world are already built upon communal divisions and conflict, and are highly unlikely to respond in a predictable, rational and inclusive manner to climate stresses. Experience of current instability in the Sahel – especially Darfur – shows how quickly disputes over access to resources in times of environmental stress can become politicised and exacerbate existing communal conflicts based on ethnic, religious or other lines. These conflicts develop their own internal dynamics, but will see no sustainable solutions unless the root causes of resource grievances are addressed.
Achieving security in a climate-stressed world will require a more proactive and intensive approach to tackling instability in strategically important regions with high climate vulnerability and weak governance. This will require changes across international, regional and national security regimes, with a stronger incorporation of long-term and structural risk factors into planning and a willingness to engage effectively with tough governance challenges; bringing diplomatic, development, intelligence and law enforcement capabilities to bear. This does not just require implementation of some general ‘conflict prevention’ agenda, but rather a direct focus on the strategic necessity of managing increased resource use tensions.
Conclusion
Climate change could drive a more collaborative approach in inter-state relations or it could exacerbate tensions between and within countries, leading to a ‘politics of insecurity’ as countries focus on protecting themselves against its impacts. Currently most countries are hedging their bets and adopting both collaborative and competitive strategies in terms of access to resources.
The pattern of cooperation which arises will depend on how effectively climate change is incorporated into mainstream foreign policy and international governance, and actually changes the balance of national interests of major countries across a wide range of security and geopolitical issues.

The Future of Climate Policy
By Tom Burke
Much will depend on how well the political leadership of the major countries understand the complexities of the problem and how effective they are at cutting through them to reach agreement on the essentials: preservation of the Kyoto mechanisms so that there continues to be a carbon price; sufficient additional funding for adaptation and technology transition in the developing world and successfully aligning timetables so that the US can again become a full participant in the global regime.
This would not solve the problem, but it would keep open the door to its solution.
The world is oversupplied with words and images and very short of deeds. The gap between rhetoric and action on climate change in even the most serious of nations is so wide as to justify much scepticism. Without clear signs of that gap closing, the political conditions for an ambitious enough policy agreement in Copenhagen and later will remain elusive.
There is an even larger gap coming ever more clearly into view. This is the gap between what climate science says we need to do and what climate politics says is within the realm of the possible. This is encouraging a realist school of climate policy thinkers to emerge.
In this view, we should not be trying to achieve ‘unrealistic’ goals. Better, this counsel of despair advises, to go for something achievable and build on that than to shoot for something too ambitious and fail. In other circumstance, with other problems, this might, indeed, be wise counsel. But for the reasons I gave before, with the particular nature of this problem makes such realist thought indistinguishable from defeatism.
We do not have any policy problems with climate change. What we are actually short of is the political will to deploy those policy instruments and the knowledge of how best to go about building that political will.
I grew up in a world that spent billions of dollars on building weapons it hoped never to use. When they became obsolete we threw them away and built even more sophisticated and expensive weapons which we hoped never to use. We did that for fifty years. The threat of climate change to the prosperity, security and well-being of everyone on the planet, especially anyone under forty, is far more certain than was the threat of the cold war going hot.
There is no engineering reason why we cannot make the transition to a carbon neutral energy system by 2050. Nor is there any fundamental economic obstacle as Nick Stern has demonstrated**. But knowing that solving the climate problem will not damage your economy is not the same as knowing how the cost of doing so should be shared between consumers, taxpayers and shareholders.
We do not have any policy problems with climate change. We have an extraordinary range of policy ideas to apply to the hugely diverse ways in which the problem will present itself to us. What we are actually short of is the political will to deploy those policy instruments and the knowledge of how best to go about building that political will.
Choosing who will win and who will lose is the province of politics. If politics is the art of the possible then the task of political leadership is that of expanding the realm of the possible. I am in no doubt that it is possible to solve this problem, but I wonder if we have the collective political leadership it will take to do so.

CCS ready assessment
Utilities and investors across Europe have yet to fully price future climate change policy into their investment models, and discussions show that there is scepticism that the EU has the political will to achieve its emissions targets.
A weak requirement in the storage legislation for technical “CCS ready assessment” of new plants confuses rather than helps to resolve this dilemma, and Europe is in danger in the next decade of building a stock of new nominally “CCS ready” coal power stations which cannot be economically retrofitted with the technology.
The worst case is that new plants are making minor changes in site layout allowing for a future CO2 capture facility, when they have no economically viable access to transport and credible storage facilities. With high uncertainties regarding both transport and storage costs, as yet there is no clear business model for either. Will CO2 transport be allowed through common carrier pipelines, constructed with public funds and shared by many users?
Or will dedicated investment in transportation need to be included directly in project finances? Will CO2 storage compete with bulk gas storage, and be priced at variable rates? Or will storage be managed as a government concession with zero economic rent?
It is critical for the industry, for consumers and policy makers that investors and operators are aware of the full costs and uncertainties around fossil fuel investments. Given the immaturity of this market it makes sense to require full technological, economic and financial readiness analysis, based on a set of agreed guidelines across Europe. The legislation could do this.
Here is a proposal. All new plants should be required to undertake a full economic, financial and technical review of CCS retrofitting as part of their permitting process. Private investors in utilities should require similar analysis as due diligence for power plant financing. Guidelines for the analysis should be produced by the European Commission in consultation with member states and stakeholders. This would also avoid any legal challenges against future regulation requiring CCS retrofitting.
Between a rock and a hard place
Europe has willed the end but not the means to deliver the CCS demonstration programme. Unless a way is found to rebuild momentum at EU level it is likely that companies will look to invest in other projects and other areas. In short, Europe has put itself between a rock and a hard place.

Delivering Climate Security: International Security Responses to a Climate Changed World
By Nick Mabey
Tackling instability
Over the next decades, the determinant of whether climate change drives serious conflict lies in how political systems respond to the tensions it creates. Too often, analysis of climate change impacts assumes that all governments will act to maximise the common good in response to change. But resource management regimes in much of the world are already built upon communal divisions and conflict, and are highly unlikely to respond in a predictable, rational and inclusive manner to climate stresses. Experience of current instability in the Sahel – especially Darfur – shows how quickly disputes over access to resources in times of environmental stress can become politicised and exacerbate existing communal conflicts based on ethnic, religious or other lines. These conflicts develop their own internal dynamics, but will see no sustainable solutions unless the root causes of resource grievances are addressed.
Achieving security in a climate-stressed world will require a more pro-active and intensive approach to tackling instability in strategically important regions with high climate vulnerability and weak governance. This will require changes across the security sector, with a stronger incorporation of long-term and structural risk factors into planning and a willingness to engage effectively with tough governance challenges; bringing diplomatic, development, intelligence and law enforcement capabilities to bear. This does not just require implementation of some general ‘conflict prevention’ agenda, but direct focus on the strategic necessity of managing increased resource use tensions. There will be no long-term stability in Afghanistan unless rural livelihoods and water management are robust to climate change. Attempts to build a ‘hearts and minds’ coalition against Islamist extremism will be crucially undermined when many of the main sources of job creation for young men in North Africa are being undermined by warmer temperatures and declining rainfall.
The impact of climate change on instability will also require changes to how climate adaptation is handled in the international climate change regime. To date climate adaptation has mainly been framed as a technical development activity, but in reality it will involve complex political and diplomatic interventions in difficult and highly charged internal resource management issues. The political economy of resource management must lie at the heart of all adaptation measures as they deal with the resources of subsistence and identity: land, water and security. More controversially, access to international adaptation finance may need to be made conditional on countries implementing reforms to internal resource management policies to improve social resilience and prevent conflict and marginalisation of vulnerable groups.
All these impacts are already occurring as the earth gradually warms in the early stages of climate change. If climate change is not controlled before we meet critical ‘tipping points’ in natural systems the impact will become catastrophic, with large parts of the world becoming uninhabitable for their current populations by the middle of the century. Such an outcome would overwhelm current security and humanitarian capacity to respond, and would make a mockery of the international community’s commitments to a ‘Responsibility to Protect’ and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.

Climate Change and Health

Getting the politics right
Kofi Annan, speaking at a climate meeting in Nairobi shortly before he left office, pointed out that there was a large and growing gap between what the science of climate change was telling us we needed to do and what the politics of climate change seemed capable of delivering. Despite the intense level of climate activity throughout last year, that gap has grown rather than shrunk.
Climate change is a problem well within the envelope of our technical and economic competence to solve. The technologies we need are already available or within reach. The policies to deploy them in time to avoid high risk climate change are not yet in place.
Not all the available technologies are important – nuclear power, for example, has at best only a limited role to play despite the government’s obsession.
Not all of the available policies will make a significant enough difference – we are relying more than we should on the arcane magic of a carbon price. What is needed is very rapid transformational change in the deployment of low carbon energy technologies. This is unlikely to be accomplished by policy measures designed to achieve incremental change.
The missing element is simply the political will to do what we know can be done. To paraphrase a saying from the Clinton years, it’s the politics stupid.
This is all too easy to say. It is somewhat harder to say how that is to be assembled. This is already, and will become more so, a highly contested area of policy.
If you believe in smaller government, less regulation, lower taxes, more personal freedoms and that markets are wiser than governments, you are going to find it hard to come up with a political programme for dealing successfully with climate change.
There will be winners and losers in the changes that must be made to take us very rapidly to a low carbon economy. The climate debate is already so loud with the complaints of the few who might lose, that we hear little from the many who would win.
In this highly contested cacophony, the trusted voice of the medical professions reminding everyone of the true cost of policy failure on climate change will be central to building that political will.
