Addressing climate change is increasingly urgent. But some mitigation measures — intended to protect communities and ecosystems — can have unintended consequences, from displacement and environmental damage to reinforcing global inequalities.

For professionals assessing security and climate-related risks, it’s crucial to look beyond the direct effects of climate change. Understanding the secondary impacts of adaptation strategies is just as important.
