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 addressed how to ensure fragile and conflict-affected states are not left behind by climate finance, examining why traditional models fail in these contexts. Featuring perspectives from the UN Peacebuilding Fund, World Bank, Green Climate Fund, and African Risk Capacity Ltd, it outlined innovative approaches, risk sharing mechanisms, and partnerships to mobilise investment aligned with peacebuilding and local empowerment.
Speakers:
• Marcus Lenzen, Senior Adviser & Deputy Chief, United Nations Peacebuilding Fund
• Dr Martin Raiser, Senior Representative European Economic Cooperation, World Bank
• Stephanie Speck, Head of Special Initiatives, Green Climate Fund
• Gloria Womitso, Head of Humanitarian Insurance Solutions, African Risk Capacity Ltd
• Moderated by Dr Almut Wieland Karimi, UN Peacebuilding Fund and Weathering Risk Strategic Advisory Board Member
