Of course, competition for resources will also be important, especially as the consequences of the fourth factor – climate change – manifest themselves. Many countries and regions are already under severe water stress, which will only intensify as climate change causes natural disasters and extreme weather events like droughts to become increasingly common.
当然，资源竞争也将是重要因素，这与第四个因素，即气候变化有关。它会使这一问题加剧恶化。许多国家和地区面临着严重的水资源紧缺压力，而随着气候变化导致自然灾害和干旱等极端天气事件日益频繁，缺水的压力还会继续恶化。同样的，随着森林和海洋资源的消耗，粮食竞争也可能导致冲突。
