Back to pressing issues! On #WorldEnvironmentDay a piece by Bob Gardner on one the precarious situation of #arctic region vis-a-vis #climatechange and how commercial and geopolitical factors pose obstructions in its solution. https://lnkd.in/eXZYEGb

#CheckOut our new #Klimsec paper on 'Climate Change and Conflict in the Ruzizi Plain in #DRC' by Emery Mudinga Godefroid Muzalia josaphat Musamba Tomas Van Acker and I, from collaboration with Angaza Institute GEC-SH & Conflict Research Group as part of the interdisciplinary #KLIMSEC project founded by VLIR-UOS Enabel. This study provides contextual, empirical knowledge by focusing on the ways in which local communities experience the complex interlinkages between climate change related environmental degradation and conflict dynamics in the Ruzizi Plain.

Today we started a joint discussion on climate-smart governance with our regional stakeholders. Many important issues emerged during the discussion. One good advise was to connect the positive synergies between climate actions and economy. #LAB #RegionalCouncilofPäijätHäme #Interregeurope #ClimateGO #Climate #climatepolicy

Extreme weather events have undermined stability and development around the world. This is particularly the case in the most vulnerable regions, where competition over increasingly scarce resources leads to tensions, conflict and population displacement. In his book, our Executive Director Andrew Gilmour explores a number of historical and contemporary links between #ClimateChange, conflict and security. He also examines how we can ensure that our efforts to address the climate crisis advance sustainable peace. The book also contains in-depth analysis of the security implications of climate migration, the energy transition and environmental peacebuilding. 📕: https://lnkd.in/gtASTFhN

How effective are coastal and terrestrial water sector interventions in achieving desired climate outcomes at various scales in developing countries?     What factors influence the effectiveness of these interventions in developing countries?     These two questions guided the IEU’s systematic review: “Coastal and terrestrial water sector interventions in developing countries.”  Too busy to read the entire systematic review? Here is a brief that summarizes the review’s findings!

Addressing the intersection of climate change and national security, as well as the impacts of that on marginalized communities is a crucial step toward building a safer, more equitable world.

🌊 Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are particularly vulnerable to ocean-climate impacts but solutions exist.   This side event during Our Ocean Conference will explore different strategies and partnership opportunities available to build in ocean-climate resilience for SIDS and support their transition to sustainable ocean economies. In particular, the Blue Recovery Hubs, the Ocean Risk and Resilience Action Alliance and the Pacific Resilience Facility will be highlighted as solutions to help small island states address their vulnerabilities, provide evidence-based policy support and mobilize relevant stakeholders.   Coastal resilience in the climate crisis: Supporting solutions for small island developing states 📆 11:00-11:50, Tuesday 16 April 2024. 📍 Multifunctional Room 1, Our Ocean Conference ℹ https://lnkd.in/eWr2pGiZ   Hosted by: U.S. Department of State, OECD Development, World Resources Institute, World Economic Forum   Speakers Opening remarks: The Honorable Mark Brown, Prime Minister of the Cook Islands; Chair, Pacific Islands Forum Moderator: Sue Biniaz, U.S. Principal Deputy Special Envoy for Climate Panelists H.E.

As the world watches, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) Advisory Opinion process has an opportunity to set a new standard for inclusive international legal processes and for climate justice. The outcome of these proceedings could reshape our approach to climate accountability and pave the way for a more equitable global response to the climate crisis. Ultimately, the true measure of success will be whether this process amplifies the voices of the most vulnerable and translates legal clarity into tangible action for climate justice.
