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 opened the conference by exploring how climate change is reshaping the global security landscape. The session brought together diverse perspectives to examine the security implications of a warming world, the risks of climate action being subsumed by Realpolitik, and the opportunities for renewed multilateral leadership ahead of COP30.
Speakers:
• H.E. Amb. Anthony Agotha, EU Special Envoy for Climate and Environment, European External Action Service (EEAS)
• H.E. Lt. Gen. Bashir Mohamed Jama, Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Somalia
• Eva Svoboda, Director for International Law Policy and Humanitarian Diplomacy, International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)
• Moderated by Janani Vivekananda Head of Programme Climate Diplomacy and Security, adelphi global
