This edition explores the critical links between climate, security, and cooperation. The latest Climate Diplomacy Podcast episode highlights how environmental crimes like illegal deforestation fuel instability and conflict, with insights from the UNODC on tackling these challenges.

Keep reading to discover the potential of environmental peacebuilding in Latin America and the Caribbean, and how the growing expectation for fragile states such as Afghanistan to self-finance climate action may be misguided.

We also spotlight key events shaping global peace and security: the upcoming UN Peacekeeping Ministerial in Berlin and the Stockholm Forum on Peace and Development, including a workshop on gendered perspectives in climate resilience strategies.
