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.
State Secretary Dr. Géza Andreas von Geyr opened the Seventh Berlin Climate and Security and conveyed four central messages on the vital link between climate and security. He warned that today’s emergencies must not sideline climate’s long term risks to security, freedom, and prosperity; affirmed climate as a core security concern requiring interdisciplinary cooperation; urged moving decisively from analysis to implementation; and called for global cooperation, aligning with Germany’s UN Security Council candidacy.

Speaker:
• H.E. Dr. Géza Andreas von Geyr, State Secretary, German Federal Foreign Office
