This video tells the story of Amina, a teenager from the Fulani community living in central Mali, as she and her family seek to cope with the impacts of increasing rainfall variability, drought and flooding on their lives and livelihoods in the years up to 2030. Amina's story illustrates how children will face numerous challenges due to the direct and indirect effects of climate change.

Cette vidéo raconte l'histoire d'Amina, une adolescente de la communauté peule vivant au centre du Mali, alors qu'elle et sa famille cherchent à faire face aux impacts de la variabilité croissante des précipitations, de la sécheresse et des inondations sur leurs vies et leurs moyens de subsistance dans les années à venir jusqu'en 2030.

This video tells the story of Issah, a man from northern Ghana who migrates to the coastal city of Accra as a young man to earn money to support to his family. It shows his life in 2050 in an aspirational scenario for Ghana, when the country has developed significant adaptive capacity.

This video tells the story of Fuseina and her family as they seek to cope with the impacts of increasing rainfall variability and then drought in northern Ghana. Fuseina's story shows that as climate change impacts intensify, not everyone will be able to move out of harm’s way.

Watch the story of Abdi, a farmer from the Oromia region in Ethiopia. As he and his family seek to cope with the impacts of increasing rainfall variability in the years up to 2030. His story shows that as the impacts of climate change intensify, those on the frontlines are using a variety of strategies to adapt and survive.

The chapter 'Canada: Reframing a well-established partnership' in the book 'European Foreign Policy in a Decarbonising World', examines Canada and EU-Canada relations as they strive to decarbonise their economies.

Mobility can be a viable response to climate change. National and international policy should protect those who move and address the vulnerabilities leading to migration and displacement.

With the European Green Deal, the European Commission under President Ursula von der Leyen has committed to accelerating decarbonisation in Europe as a major priority. This report shows how the EU’s external relations need to evolve to adequately reflect the political, economic and social outcomes of this process.

Decarbonisation won’t come as fast as the pandemic. But if fossil fuel exporters are not prepared for it, they will face an enduring crisis. The EU can help.

After releasing a policy paper on China's rising climate leadership in a changing world, our team received a letter from Washington. It raised a fundamental question: is China able to take up this role, as climate change is now part of broader political and economic agendas? The authors of the policy paper now respond to this letter and argue that the key to the ultimate success is a just energy transition.

This paper presents a conceptual model of climate change and human mobility interactions. The model outlines possible pathways connecting climate hazards and climate adaptation with different modes of human mobility.

Contributing to the emerging literature on the geopolitical and foreign policy implications of decarbonisation and energy transition processes, this book sheds light on the future of the European Union’s (EU) external relations under decarbonisation. Under the Paris Agreement on climate change, adopted in 2015, governments are committed to phasing out the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases over the coming decades.

This paper examines the interaction between climate impacts, migration, displacement and (in)security to better understand the different ways in which mobility can serve as an adaptive strategy to climate- and conflict-related risks and vulnerabilities. It also aims to assess how effective mobility is as an adaptation strategy and will continue to be in light of other stresses, including the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has profound global impacts. While all countries have been affected, the pandemic is hitting those that were already struggling with poverty, conflict and the impacts of climate change especially hard. This report seeks to explore these dynamics.

Under the Paris Agreement, governments have committed to radically cutting carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions over the coming decades. This decarbonisation process has profound implications for both domestic and foreign policy, and is likely to have important geopolitical consequences. As a global power and leader on climate action, the EU has an important role to play in meeting these challenges.

With the advance of climate change and environmental changes threatening livelihoods, their impacts on migration and displacement are receiving increasing attention in research, politics, and civil society. This report series evaluates the evidence base for policymaking, and provide entry points for responses in the field of climate change adaptation.

Based on the findings from the report "Geopolitics of Decarbonisation" this policy brief focuses on six fossil-fuel exporting countries – Azerbaijan, Canada, Colombia, Indonesia, Nigeria and Qatar – where fossil fuels have played an important role in external relations with the EU and analyses how they may be affected by the decarbonisation of Europe.

The COVID-19 pandemic has profound global impacts. While all countries have been affected, the pandemic is hitting those who were already struggling with poverty, conflict and the impacts of climate change especially hard. This podcast episode seeks to explore these dynamics by interviewing the authors of the Climate Security Expert Network Report Spreading Disease, Spreading Conflict?
