In terms of national and international security. Also in terms of conflict, again nationally and internationally. I am doing my MSc (Masters) research and would welcome any productive ideas and suggestions, seminal papers or books, etc, in order to narrow down my research into more focused questions.
Well you may focus conflicts in Africa (like Ethiopia) in terms of lack of access to clean water. (I'm not sure you can find good resources but international organizations (UN climate change reports, Environmental and Energy Study Institute; also German Federal Government and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency has some reports published) have some reports about it. You can find some economic statistics and connect with the conflicts.(Then explain the effects on international economy and securitization issue- illegal migration may be. I'm just trying to give an idea for your research)
And also there is a bookClimate Change, Human Security and Violent Conflict. You can also look for it.
Possible conflicts are many arising from impacts on food production, water resources, increase in hazards, etc. All these can destalilize societies or even the international community, if these challenges lead to mass migration. Very much has been published on this. Some publications that recently appeared are:
