Overview

• A study led by Dr. Jared Dmello from the University of Adelaide shows that climate change affects the locations of terrorist activities, particularly in India.
• Climatological variables such as temperature, precipitation, and elevation are linked to changes in terrorist activity patterns.
• The shifting of terrorist activities is not only due to the intensity of climatic changes but also seasonal variations.
• The research emphasizes the importance of addressing climate change to mitigate national security and defense risks.
• The findings could inform government strategies worldwide, highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary approach to tackling radicalization and ensuring security.
