Environmental Legislation, Multilateral Relations and Funding Opportunities
The issue of environmentally conditioned conflicts is extremely topical in the current geopolitical situation. The current, in many cases, uneven and unregulated economic and population growth, together with the ever-increasing global consumption, causes many countries to face a growing shortage of vital renewable resources, such as drinking water, arable land, pastures, forests, fish resources, etc. Depletion and excessive use of natural resources, combined with environmental degradation and climate change, is one of the factors threatening the safety of mankind. In particular, governments in developing countries, unstable states and developing economies are under increasing pressure to sustainably manage natural resources and resolve environmentally-related conflicts with many accompanying phenomena – armed conflict, migration, famine, disintegration of state structures. One of the possible consequences of environmental conflicts is the failure of the functioning of the state and the emergence of so-called dysfunctional states. The presented contribution deals with the mutual relationship between environmentally conditioned conflicts and dysfunctional states. Using specific examples, we analyze individual cases and make a typology of environmentally conditioned conflicts in relation to dysfunctional states.
