Abstract
Environmental changes can act as a risk factor in fragile and conflicted situations, making conflicts more severe and longer. Environmental changes deepen social and political instabilities in complicated and multidimensional ways. Indeed, climate change, environmental destruction, drought, and desertification do not automatically start wars. However, these changes do not occur in a vacuum; they interact with economic, social, and political factors and can create challenges, especially for governments with limited resources and fragile economies. As the world faces new and emerging threats, the UN Security Council will be increasingly challenged to respond to its agenda to maintain international peace and security. This question of how the Security Council should deal with environmental changes is very basic. One of the main problems that arise in examining the role of the Security Council in environmental issues is the existence of different interpretations of what the Security Council does in fulfilling its duties according to the charter to maintain international peace and security. The current research seeks to answer this question: are environmental issues part of the inherent jurisdiction of this council, and if so, to what extent. In response, with a detailed review of the performance and resolutions of the Security Council, despite the plurality and diversity of these resolutions, it is clear that due to the difference of opinion between permanent and non-permanent members, the Council's approach is not comprehensive enough. Many environmental crises are not included in the Council's agenda.
