The articles written from various perspectives deal with the threat of climate change to human security. Taking into view India’s views and role in climate change negotiations and with specific reference to Africa and India’s neighbours while studying the challenges and response to climate change, they delve into the impact of climate change which was not seen as a threat and hence not crafted within the contours of state security and its associated military establishment. It views the inadequacy of conventional security measures such as lethal weapons in addressing the effects of climate change and exposes the narrow, reductionist, linear state-centric security. Covering aspects like sea level rise and impact of development on biodiversity and environment, they stress on the need that has arisen for redefining security by going beyond the state to the individual level.
