Climate change is reshaping the planet, its ecosystems, and the evolution of human societies. Related impacts and disasters are triggering significant shifts in the inextricably interconnected human and ecological systems with unprecedented potential implications. These shifts not only threaten survival at species and community levels, but are also emerging drivers of conflicts, human insecurity, and displacement both within and across national borders.

Produktbeschreibung
Climate change is reshaping the planet, its ecosystems, and the evolution of human societies. Related impacts and disasters are triggering significant shifts in the inextricably interconnected human and ecological systems with unprecedented potential implications. These shifts not only threaten survival at species and community levels, but are also emerging drivers of conflicts, human insecurity, and displacement both within and across national borders. Taking these shifting dynamics into account, particularly in the Anthropocene era, this book provides an analysis of the climate-conflict-migration nexus from human security and resilience perspectives. The core approach of the volume consists of unpacking the key dynamics of the nexus between climate change, conflict, and displacement and exploring the various local and global response mechanisms to address the nexus, assess their effectiveness, and identify their implications for the nexus itself. It includes both conceptual researchand empirical studies reporting lessons learned from many geographical, environmental, social, and policy settings.

Fred Kruidbos is a (population) biologist specialized in animal ecology. He is an independent researcher and the director of K-SN Ecological Services B.V. Based in the Netherlands, this company operates worldwide and consists of three branches focused on: (i) ecological research and consultancy, (ii) ecological products, and (iii) ecological safety and security services. This setup makes it possible to study problems from a multidimensional approach facilitating more holistic solutions. Mr. Kruidbos studied at the prestigious Wageningen University (population biology) and Fontys University of Applied Science Tilburg (teacher training). During and after his studies, he conducted research on various prey-predator and host-vector related studies. His current research is pragmatic in nature and focuses mainly on the interface between spatial planning and nature conservation. Recently expanded with safety and security issues of which his contributions to this book are an example. In addition to being a biologist, Mr. Kruidbos is a Sr. Operational advisor attached to the Dutch army. During his military service (compulsory in the Netherlands at the time) he was trained with the Dutch Special Forces and completed his operational period as a team member. In addition to his civil studies, he completed the training as reserve officer and senior officer at the Netherlands Defense Academy (NLDA). In this role, he has been involved in issues related to civil-military interactions as well as special operations for over twelve years. Recently mainly focused on the climate-conflict nexus. Supported by the combination of his ecological and military knowledge, Mr. Kruidbos highlights issues from a different angle than is usual within both disciplines. This broadens both scope and problem analysis, which leads to more inclusive solutions and new methodologies. An important part of his contribution is to direct the shift from kinetic reactive to non-kinetic pre-conflict interventions as well as post-conflict support and reconstruction. An example of this is his theoretical and operational contributions to the Dutch Provincial Reconstruction Team (focused on livestock recovery, agriculture and ecology) of the province of Uruzgan, Afghanistan, which has made a significant contribution to shaping Dutch 3D policy. Against the backgroundof a theoretical introduction on ecology his second chapter contribution to this book proposes to extend this approach with ecology and time as central factors.
