Climate change could lead to sudden and catastrophic crop failure, migration of tropical diseases to the temperate zone, or disruption of the major shipping ports around the world due to raising sea levels.

I have no doubt that it is possible for a region to survive the scenarios you seem to be allowing, especially by geographical isolation and use of brutal policy.

Those whom the Gods wish to destroy They first make mad. -- Euripides

Yes, and given sufficient regional collapse elsewhere, those regions would find themselves at the wrong end of a colonial relationship or other form of exploitive domination.
