Berlin Climate and Security Conference 2025 (BCSC 2025)
As the world experiences increasing instability – driven by more frequent conflicts, the growing impacts of climate change, resource pressures, and shifting geopolitical dynamics – collaboration and knowledge sharing among all sectors are more vital than ever. In these turbulent times, the conference will focus on finding practical solutions and pragmatic opportunities for coordinated action on climate issues and conflict reduction.
The seventh BCSC will explore Climate, Conflict, and Cooperation in a Turbulent Era and
- Examine the effects of climate impacts, resource scarcity, and the rising demand for critical raw materials on national security and development priorities;
- Advance innovative climate and peace finance solutions for fragile states to support effective investment and risk management in unstable contexts;
- Identify new avenues for collaboration to promote collective action and policy coordination, including new partnerships, in emerging fields such as measuring the impact of climate security integrated programming.
