The Berlin Climate and Security Conference (BCSC) 2024 is set to convene on October 8, 2024, hosted by the German Federal Foreign Office in Berlin and available online. This sixth edition of BCSC will address the pressing question: "How to secure a climate for peace?" The conference aims to delve into the multifaceted impacts of climate change on global security, from peace-making efforts to post-conflict reconstruction. It will examine how climate risks intersect with security objectives and explore the role of the security and defense sectors in addressing these challenges.
BCSC 2024 will also focus on enhancing awareness and capacity for climate security risk analysis and foresight assessments. This approach is intended to support comprehensive peace-building and stabilization initiatives. By connecting high-level political figures, climate security experts, international organizations, and practitioners, the conference will facilitate a critical dialogue on integrating climate considerations into security strategies.
Since its inception in 2019, BCSC has established itself as a key global forum for discussing the intersections of climate and security. It has become a platform for promoting and advancing innovative climate security approaches and initiatives. The conference aims to drive actionable insights and implementation efforts to address the complex challenges posed by climate change.
Participation in the event is by invitation only, but the conference will be livestreamed, allowing a wider audience to engage with its discussions and outcomes. The Berlin Climate and Security Conference continues to be a vital event for advancing international cooperation on climate-related security issues and developing concrete strategies to ensure a stable and peaceful global environment.
