Climate change is increasingly recognized as one of the most pressing global challenges, with profound implications for human security across multiple dimensions. Human security, as a framework, goes beyond traditional notions of national security by focusing on the protection and empowerment of individuals and communities. The seven dimensions of human security—economic, food, health, environmental, personal, community, and political—offer a comprehensive lens through which to assess the impacts of climate change, particularly in developing countries, where vulnerability is often heightened due to limited adaptive capacity, socioeconomic inequalities, and institutional constraints. Economic security is profoundly affected by climate change, especially in developing nations where livelihoods are heavily dependent on climate-sensitive sectors such as agriculture, fisheries, and forestry. Rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and the increased frequency of extreme weather events disrupt productivity and income stability. Crop failures due to droughts, floods, and erratic rainfall diminish agricultural outputs, directly affecting rural economies and exacerbating poverty. Additionally, damage to infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and ports from storms or rising sea levels incurs high reconstruction costs, placing further strain on national budgets and household incomes. Informal sector workers, who constitute a significant portion of the workforce in many developing countries, are particularly vulnerable, as their employment lacks social protection and is highly sensitive to climatic shocks. Food security is intimately linked to climate change, given the central role of agriculture in sustaining livelihoods and nutrition in developing countries. Climate-induced disruptions in crop yields, fisheries, and livestock productivity threaten both the availability and accessibility of food. Rising temperatures can alter growing seasons, reduce soil fertility, and increase the prevalence of pests and diseases, leading to significant reductions in staple crop production. Extreme weather events, such as floods and droughts, not only destroy crops but also damage food storage and distribution infrastructure, contributing to price volatility and reduced access for low-income households. The nutritional quality of food may also be compromised as climate stress affects the composition of essential nutrients, heightening the risk of malnutrition and associated health problems among vulnerable populations, especially children and the elderly. Health security is another critical dimension that is deeply influenced by climate change. Changes in temperature, precipitation, and extreme weather events alter the epidemiology of infectious diseases, contributing to the spread of vector-borne illnesses such as malaria, dengue, and Zika virus. Water-borne diseases, including cholera and diarrhea, become more prevalent following floods and contamination of freshwater sources. Heatwaves exacerbate cardiovascular and respiratory conditions, while climate-induced food insecurity contributes to malnutrition and weakened immune systems. Developing countries often face inadequate healthcare infrastructure and limited capacity for disease surveillance, making it challenging to respond effectively to these climate-related health risks, thereby exacerbating morbidity and mortality. Environmental security, encompassing the protection of ecosystems and the sustainable management of natural resources, is directly threatened by climate change. Deforestation, land degradation, desertification, and loss of biodiversity are accelerated by rising temperatures
