## Key points

- Miliband says climate change is a national security threat to every country.
- He will urge stronger action as 1.5C warming overshoot becomes likely.
- Fossil fuel price shocks add to economic insecurity.

## Summary

UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband is set to tell leaders at the Cop31 summit in Turkey that climate change threatens every country’s national security. He will link rising temperatures to food shortages, economic disruption, migration and conflict, arguing that security concerns should become a central reason for climate action.

Miliband says the effects of climate breakdown once imagined as science fiction are now regular news, and that fossil fuel price shocks have become commonplace. He will warn that global warming is likely to exceed 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, requiring stronger emissions cuts and efforts to limit and eventually reverse the rise. Several major world leaders, including those of China, India, France and Germany, are not attending the leaders’ summit segment.
