Climate change is in its core not an environmental problem, because the global ecosystems will balance out also in times of an accelerated global warming. But global temperature increases beyond two degrees Celsius could overstrain the adjustability of nations and economies within the next decades as well as increase international distribution conflicts, especially concerning water, land and food. Climate change represents therefore a high security risk and climate policy becomes preventive security policy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
