A diverse group of representatives from Member States that work in climate change mainstreaming policy development and implementation at national or EEAS/EUMS, ECHO, DEVCO levels, as well as personnel involved in civilian protection, disaster protection and humanitarian assistance capacity building attended the course.
The aim of the course was achieved by describing global warming as a phenomenon and a security threat multiplier, discussing the main factors which affected the environment, assessing the impact of climate change on international peace and security in short, mid and long term period and considering integrated policy options to address these climate-security challenges.
Moreover, the course objectives were complemented by detailed and productive teamworks, which were greatly valued by the attendees.
