This high-level side event at COP26 set out an evidence-based, coherent narrative on climate, peace and stability. Hosted by Germany, adelphi and the Munich Security Conference, with Luxembourg, Nauru, and the United Arab Emirates, the event aimed to build on multilateral momentum to establish leadership and guiding principles for climate action which can advance peace and stability.

This virtual event demonstrated how effective engagement on climate change and security must build on integrated approaches and partnerships to facilitate action in regions vulnerable to climate-related security risks.
