The Planetary Security Conference (PSC) is the key global event on climate change and security, bringing together high-level policymakers, experts and practitioners to explore concrete actions on development, foreign and security policy to address interlinked climate-security risks in a holistic way.

The fourth Planetary Security Conference (PSC) took place from 19th and 20th February 2019 in The Hague. 

The previous PSC in December 2017 saw the launch of the Hague Declaration on Planetary Security. Signed by over 100 high level signatories and setting out a shared agenda for action on climate-security, the Declaration was the first ever call to action to address climate change and security and included the following six action areas:

  1. Institutional Home for Climate Security
  2. Enhancing Coordination on Migration
  3. Urban Resilience
  4. Joint Risk Assessment in Lake Chad
  5. Climate and Conflict Sensitive Development in Mali
  6. Support Sustainable Water Strategies in Iraq

The Planetary Security Conference 2019 put a thematic focus on:

  1. Contribution of land and climate policies to peace
  2. Urban risks and instability
  3. Geopolitics of energy transition

Iraq, Lake Chad, Mali and the Caribbean Small Island Developing States are spotlight regions to illustrate possible ways forward in addressing these themes.
