Environmental change and human security: Recognizing and acting on Hazard impacts
... Climate change has focal effect on agricultural production; forcing farmers to apply and vary new form to changed climatic situation in the near future. Climate change ability raise for example higher temperature, changes in rainfall can affect agriculture and forestry [19] [20]. Under nutrition is wicked that affect approximately 800 million people about 12 % of the world population [21] [22]. ...
Under nutrition evils effect approximately 800 million people or 12 % of the earth population was has been by now misery from chronic under nutrition earlier than to the food crisis of 2008. Undernourishment is a severe trouble in Pakistan that affect about 40 percent of its total inhabitants with no great advancement to direction of during the past few decades its decrease. The Intense undernourishment rate is 13 percent in Pakistan which is close to the world health organization (WHO) crisis point of 15 percent. The aim of research is to discuss climate change effect on health and also on food security. Researcher has selected 15 most affected area of Shakargarh i.e. Shakargarh I, Shakargarh II, Dhodha, Dhadwal, Masroor, Chakra, Baramanga, Kot Naina, Fate Pur, Pindi Kalan, Kanjroor, Kot Bhachna, Kot Dowaba, Chak Manak and Khurd. Annual Temperature data has accumulated from the Pakistan metrological department from Climate change scenarios of Pakistan (AR5) CCSM4 data for RCP4.5 Scenario Grid size 25KM. Data about Flood Affected areas in acres and Percentage of Agriculture Land damages is collected from office of the assistant commissioner Shakargarh. Primary Data has been collected through questionnaire 100 respondents from each area total 1500 respondents to analysis percentage of spread diseases in the affected areas. It is concluded that there is requirement to battle climate change for health causes as well as for the sustainability of human life.
... has not only different meanings, but also contentious implication in different contexts (Burgess, 2007; Liotta et al., 2008; Tadjbakhsh, 2009). Due to the ongoing conceptual debates on and divergent implication about security, contemporary scholars, practitioners as well as international institutions have progressively begun to develop new concepts of security, such as collective security, comprehensive security, regional security and human security, to minimize the conceptual vagueness of security and maximize contextual implication of which the concept of security manifests (Bajipai, 2000). ...
1 & 2 The concept of security has been intensively debated for long times in the fields of International Relations, Political Science, Military Science, and Peace and Security Studies, few to mention. But, it has still ambiguous and divergent meanings, and so lacks consensual understandings amongst scholars and uniform implications in different area of specializations and contexts. For this reason, many security scholars and practitioners have begun to develop alternative concepts of security as a way-out to reduce its conceptual ambiguity, such as collective security, regional security and human security. More importantly, human security like the contested and generic concept of security means different thing for different individuals, scholars, communities and state governments. In these times, nonetheless, there are two contending conceptualizations and arguments which have been approached about human security. These are the narrower versus broader views as well as optimistic (hopeful) versus pessimistic (skeptical) arguments on proving and/or disproving the usefulness of the concept of human security in the contemporary security discourses. The objective of this paper is therefore to review these two lines of conceptions and arguments, and then critically reflect on the usefulness of human security as a concept. Methodologically, the paper reviews considerable number of literatures, so that many scholarly works and international documents on human security are thoroughly analyzed. Thus, the paper concludes that notwithstanding of the twofold and contentious perspectives made so far on the concept of human security, it is useful and potential concept as an imperative idea, a critical theory, a normative framework, operative institutional policy, and as a political instrument in the contemporary security matters and public discourses.
The Research Cluster Human Security & Resource Governance is maintaining since 2018 a bibliography that collects academic works analyzing the theory and practice of human security. The bibliography is comprised of academic books, journal articles, working papers and policy reports. The goal of this bibliography is to provide a useful sample of starting points for research and investigations on Human Security. The bibliography is “work in progress” and will be regularly updated.
