Environment, Climate Change, Securitization, Discourses, Paris AgreementResumo
Considering the relationship between environmental problems and international security, this paper questions whether there has been, in recent years, a movement by political leaderships to securitize environmental problems? The methodology applied in this paper was a bibliographical review on securitization and its relationship with environmental discussions. Then, we proceed with a discourse analysis of important political leaderships in the context of the birth of the Paris Agreement. As a result, we observed that, academically, the debate on the environment and security still lacks many studies. And, although it is not possible to affirm that there is a movement of securitization on the part of international political leaderships, in the context of COP-21 there were important speeches associating environmental problems with an urgent threat to the future of humanity.
