Climate Change as a Security Challenge, Risk and Threat of the 21st Century and Its Consequences on Critical Infrastructure
Climate Change as a Security Challenge, Risk and Threat of the 21st Century and Its Consequences on Critical Infrastructure

Summary/Abstract: In recent decades, we have increasingly witnessed frequent climate changes. Climate change is one of the significant problems facing modern society, negatively affecting the environment, economy, infrastructure, and the health and safety of people. However, the effects of climate change during the 21st century have endangered both transport and telecommunications infrastructure. Research into climate change presents one of the most significant challenges facing the Planet in the 21st century. Considering that most social communities have rarely experienced protection from the numerous effects of natural and technological disasters, such complexity has emphasised the need for more detailed research. Namely, although climate change is one of the biggest global challenges, the world has long faced many issues it brings, and some research indicates that its impact will become increasingly frequent. This paper primarily highlights the complexity of this issue. One of the paper's goals is to realistically assess the situation and explore the potential for improving the activities of numerous institutions, experts, and scientists. The first chapter defines the concept of climate change and its classification, while the second chapter defines the concept of critical infrastructure and the problems that may arise. The third part of the paper will present the importance of ensuring the sustainability of critical infrastructure and the measures to address these issues. Climate change is our reality. We deal with the consequences, not the cause.
