Such estimates are broad US intelligence community assessments. Thursday's
report identifies as particular "countries of concern" Afghanistan, India, Pakistan,
Myanmar, Iraq, North Korea, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua and
Colombia.

Heat, drought, water availability and ineffective government make Afghanistan

specifically worrying, the official said. Water disputes are also a key "geopolitical
flashpoint" in India and the rest of South Asia.

The report identifies two additional regions of concern to US intelligence agencies.

Climate change is "likely to increase the risk of instability in countries in Central
Africa and small island states in the Pacific, which clustered together form two of
the most vulnerable areas in the world."

The report notes disparities around global approaches to tackling climate change,
saying countries that rely on fossil fuel exports to support their economies "will
continue to resist a quick transition to a zero-carbon world because they fear the
economic, political, and geopolitical costs of doing so."

The report also notes the likelihood of increasing strategic competition over the
Arctic. It says that Arctic and non-Arctic states "almost certainly will increase their
competitive activities as the region becomes more accessible because of
warming temperatures and reduced ice."

It predicts international competition in the Arctic "will be largely economic but the
risk of miscalculation will increase modestly by 2040 as commercial and military
activity grows and opportunities are more contested."
