Abstract

Climate change affects relations between states and geopolitics. Until now, attention has predominantly been on the geopolitics of decarbonization – the shifting energy supply, new resource dependencies and mitigation finance. But there must be an equal focus on how climate change costs and damages are shifting geopolitics – arising in connection with economic decline, uninhabitability and uneven impact distribution.
