The eighth edition of the Berlin Climate and Security Conference (BCSC) explored a climate for security, freedom and prosperity. As the world confronts growing instability, the need for integrated, cross-sectoral responses has never been more urgent. Through taking stock of leading practice and convening figures from government, implementation organisations, and research, it helped to reframe and rethink how hard security, human security, and climate action can be pursued together, reenforcing each other rather than in competition.
