Geopolitical Unrest and Its Cascading Effects on the Global Environment
Geopolitical unrest among nations has a cascading effect on the environment, beyond the political and economic domains. This paper examines the spillovers of such conflicts on the global environment. It explores how disruptions in trade caused by war, mutual non-cooperation, energy insecurity, military actions, and natural resource exploitation contribute to environmental degradation. The study highlights how geopolitical instability and environmental sustainability are interconnected. The study further emphasises that there is an urgent need for strengthening global governance and cooperative frameworks to take up environmental issues effectively.
