国際学術会議
人新世時代におけるグローバルな不安定性の再考察
2023年3月5日, 08:45 - 16:40
長崎大学（オンライン参加、英語、翻訳なし）
概要
気候変動は我々を取り巻く社会に様々な領域に影響を及ぼしてきていますが、その一つは安全保障への影響です。安全保障を気候変動と関連付ける研究は新しい学術分野であり、新たな課題を我々に突きつけています。本シンポジウムにおけるテーマは、地域紛争・災害対応から核リスクまで、気候変動と安全保障を多角的に考察します。
近年、コロナウイルス危機、パキスタンの洪水、オーストラリアの山火事、エチオピアの干ばつ、ウクライナ戦争によるエネルギーや小麦の不足など、災害や紛争が国際社会に与える影響の大きさが浮き彫りになっています。これらの危機は、限定的あるいは局所的なものであっても、私たちの社会が相互に結びついている多くのメカニズムを通じて、世界中に広がる可能性があることを示しています。エネルギー不足、医療用医薬品の供給制限、食糧供給への不安、被災したコミュニティの難民化など、地球規模での相互連鎖の深さが際立っています。科学界からは、気候変動がこのような不安定な状況を悪化させる一因となっているとの警鐘が相ついでいます。これらの議論のほとんどは、気候変動が暴力的な闘争、エスニック紛争、国家間戦争、あるいは壊滅的な核破壊に直結すると指摘しているものではないものの、人々の不安や国際社会の不安定性の増大や、事態が危機的状況に進む「閾値」の低下につながりうるとの認識を示しています。
こうした状況の中で、本シンポジウムの目的は、気候変動のリスクと、差し迫った核の危険を含む現代のグローバルな安全保障の課題を、理論的あるいは実証的な側面からより明確にすることです。このような議論はグローバル規模でのダイナミックな変革の中に位置づけられるべきものです。また、グローバルな不安定性ついての懸念に、従来の安全保障研究の狭い枠組みではカバーできていない様々な観点から取り組む必要があると考えられます。本シンポジウムで議論するテーマは、このような複合的な課題の一部に過ぎません。ここでの議論を契機に、さらなる創造的な推敲、方法論の多様化、学際的な交流につながることに期待を寄せています。

Concept
The conference raises new themes in an emerging area of research that integrates climate change and security studies. The topics touch upon a number of issues varying from disaster response to violent conflict, and to management of nuclear risks. The coronavirus crisis, floods in Pakistan, wildfires in Australia, droughts in Somalia, and energy and wheat shortages due to the war in Ukraine, all have underlined the magnitude of effects such disasters and conflicts have on the global community. Though limited or local in scope, these crises show the potential to spread throughout the globe via many mechanisms through which our societies are interlinked. The ensuing energy shortages, medical drug curtailments, food supply insecurities, and displacement of suffering communities have accentuated the depth of such planetary-scale interconnections. Scientific communities have increasingly come upon agreement that climate change has a share in aggravating such insecurities. While most of the discussions about climate change have not been directly linked to violent struggles, conflicts, wars, or outright nuclear destruction, they recognize that climate contributes to the rise of insecurities and reduction of crisis thresholds. The aim of this conference, thus, is to identify some of the linkages between climate risks and contemporary global security challenges, including impending nuclear hazards. Such considerations take a place within the dynamism of current global transformation, and the concerns over insecurities and conflicts need to be addressed from variety of perspectives many of which fall outside of the narrow framework of traditional security studies. Some themes are specified in the presentations below, but we openly encourage further creative elaboration, diversification of methodologies, and interdisciplinary exchanges.
