Opening Impulse – Germany’s State Secretary Géza Andreas von Geyr | BCSC2025

He warned that today’s emergencies must not sideline climate’s long term risks to security, freedom, and prosperity; affirmed climate as a core security concern requiring interdisciplinary cooperation; urged moving decisively from analysis to implementation; and called for global cooperation, aligning with Germany’s UN Security Council candidacy.

The seventh edition of the Berlin Climate and Security Conference (BCSC) explored climate, conflict, and cooperation in a turbulent era. Better coordination and innovative collaborations are needed more than ever. Through taking stock of leading practice and convening figures from government, implementation organisations, and research, it advanced actionable climate security solutions amid growing instability.
