As the effects of climate change become increasingly disruptive in this century, the democratic nations of the world will face heightened stress from extreme weather, flooding, droughts, and mass migrations. If democratic governments respond to these challenges by embracing nationalism, they will weaken the universal principle of human rights upon which democracy is founded, thus eroding the strength of democracy within their own borders. Conversely, if democratic societies foster greater political integration with other democracies around the world, they will be in a far better position to face the transnational challenges posed by climate change. |
