A link between security and climate change
Date: (11-04-2024)
The Climate Change and Security course was held at the CMDR COE premises. It was organized under the auspices of the European Security and Defence College, with Bulgarian Diplomatic Institute’s support.
In the period 8-11 April 2024, a group of over 40 international experts from diverse backgrounds, such as military and police officers, diplomats and civil experts from 14 countries took part in a series of interactive lectures on the challenges that climate change can bring to the security sector. The goal of the course was to raise awareness to climate change’s primary role in building resilience, as well as its implications as a threat multiplier. The lectures were delivered by a multitude of international professionals in the fields of climate change, environment studies and international security. They addressed how NATO and the EU are paving the way by creating and implementing policies for sustainable growth based on climate change awareness and deep understanding of its effects on international security.
In order to ensure that the practical implications of the course are highlighted, the participants were divided in three working groups to facing a variety of scenarios. At the end, they prepared assessments of the factors that cause and accelerate climate change and also the direct and indirect effects of it. By acquiring a deeper knowledge of the implications climate change has on security, they were able to participate in drafting strategies and policies on managing the and mitigating negative effects of climate change, such as migrant waves and flows, civil unrest and climate induced crises and conflicts.
