There is a growing understanding of the relationship between climate change and serious and organised crime . On the one hand, climate change is a driver of crime owing to its impact on social control and its ability to create new opportunities for criminal actors. On the other hand, criminal activity exacerbates climate change as it often involves practices damaging to the environment, while simultaneously frustrating the ability of societies to withstand and respond to the impacts of climate change.
