Publisher: Climate Diplomacy
Author(s): Berlin Climate and Security Conference
Date: 2025
Topics: Cooperation, Gender, Peace and Security Operations
To mark the anniversary of the landmark Women, Peace and Security agenda (UNSC resolution 1325), this high-level spotlight session explored normative and policy advances made over the last 25 years, as well as the linkages between gender, climate change and security and the need for more gender-responsive climate action in fragile and conflict-affected settings.
This session also highlighted how women’s organisations and networks continue to drive the agenda at the grassroots and international levels and can bridge gaps left by formal actors.
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.
