Abstract
Climate change has been seen as an environmental crisis and also as a catalyst for geopolitical instability. The present study portrays the relationship of climate-induced vulnerabilities, political risks, conflict emergence, and population dislocation and indicates how ESG preparedness, in particular the strength of social and governance systems, can significantly dilute these risks. The study indicates that countries with strong institutions and governance will better manage climate-related threats. With the support of endogeneity tests and PSM, the study proves climate vulnerability as a true catalyst for geopolitical unrest. The study therefore endeavour to underline the necessity of involving ESG frameworks when building climate resilience in nations or at the international level for the purpose of conflict reduction and security protection.
