Abstract

This research aims to examine and analyze the environmental impacts of climate change in Afghanistan and provide political, economic and social recommendations and directives to confront the challenges of climate change and ensure national security in Afghanistan. This research reached several results, the most important of which is that climate change affects water resources in Afghanistan by increasing evaporation and reducing amounts Rain and snowmelt in the Himalayas. This leads to a shortage of fresh water available for drinking and irrigation, affecting the agricultural sector and the health of the population. The impact on national security is to increase tensions over the distribution and access of water and the ability to meet the basic needs of the population. Water shortages can lead to potential conflicts between local communities and threaten the stability of the country. One of the most important recommendations of the research was that the government and the local community must take measures to improve water resources management and enhance awareness about sustainable water use. These actions could include developing water collection and storage infrastructure, promoting the cultivation of crops adapted to water scarcity, and encouraging efficient irrigation practices
