Summary/Abstract: Over the last decade, the number of scientists increases, who study in more depth topics related to environmental security and the relationships between socio-economic and natural processes and how the depletion of natural resources undermines human security. This article discusses the impact of climate change on communities and key economic sectors such as agriculture and energy. We will analyze the impact of current and potential future socio-economic processes catalyzed by climate change, which in combination with the population boom in traditionally unstable regions like the Middle East, already seriously affect the security and economic development of Bulgaria and the European Union.
