기후변화로 인한 아프리카의 정치·사회적 갈등과 평화 Climate Change, Socio-Political Conflict, and Peace in Africa |
Yeongju B |
본 세션에서는 다양한 행위자 간 기후변화로 인한 이해관계 변화를 해석하고 이에 대한 대응 및 해결 방안을 논의할 예정이다. 이를 통해 사하라 이남 아프리카에서 발생하는 분쟁의 현황과 주요 양상을 이해하고 외교부가 활용할 수 있는 정책제언을 마련함으로써 세계평화에 기여할 방법을 모색하고자 한다. Climate change intensifies the competition for water and land, and is becoming a threat to social stability and peace. In African countries with weak economic base and administrative power, climate change exacerbates existing tensions and conflicts related to food shortages, population growth, and resource allocation, and amplifies social instability and violence. Factors that cause instability, such as military coup d'?tats, wars with extremist armed groups, and ethnic conflicts occurring in sub-Saharan Africa, are not unrelated to the struggle for survival due to climate change. At present, the discussion on ‘climate change and peace’ is more timely given that external factors such as COVID-19 and the Ukraine war are also contributing to food instability and inflation. In this session, we will examine changes in political and economic interests caused by climate change among various actors and discuss appropriate countermeasures and solutions. The discussion will allow us to better understand current situation and major aspects of conflicts in sub-Saharan Africa, and seek ways to contribute to world peace by preparing policy recommendations the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can use. |
