CMC together with Folke Bernadotte Akademi and Center for International Peace Operations ZIF organised a roundtable discussion on climate security expertise on peace operations at the Berlin Climate Security Conference in October.
The panel called for more training and awareness-raising among staff on climate security for greater impact, increasing synergies between international organisations and taking advantage of existing research for mission planning and conflict analysis.
Key takeaways from the panel discussion are presented in this two pager.
