The seventh edition of the Berlin Climate and Security Conference (BCSC) explored climate, conflict, and cooperation in a turbulent era. Better coordination and innovative collaborations are needed more than ever. Through taking stock of leading practice and convening figures from government, implementation organisations, and research, it advanced actionable climate security solutions amid growing instability.
This high-level plenary examined why traditional multilateral frameworks struggled to deliver timely, context-specific climate security solutions, despite widespread recognition of urgency. It highlighted how regional organisations, cross regional alliances, and plurilateral initiatives stepped in with new platforms for collective action, policy coordination, and practical responses to climate related security risks.
Speakers:
• H.E. Amb. Bakyt Dzhusupov, Co-ordinator of OSCE Economic and Environmental Activities, Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE)
• H.E. Maria Fernanda Espinosa, Former President, United Nations General Assembly and former Minister of Foreign Affairs and former Minister of National Defense, Ecuador
• Margalit Levin, Assistant Director, Climate Diplomacy Policy, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Australia
• H.E. Amb. Indra Mani Pandey, Secretary General Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC)
• Moderated by Emma Whitaker, Senior Adviser, adelphi global
