Climate Impact Profile Supplementary Information
These profiles provide forward-looking data on a region's climate – including projected parameters under various emission scenarios across key sectors – with the goal of supporting resilience-oriented short and long-term planning. The following resource serves to elaborate upon the data sources and methods mentioned in Climate Impact Profiles for technical users. -

Climate change creates significant challenges for UN peacekeeping operations and increases the urgency and complexity of maintaining peace and security in fragile settings. The links between climate change, conflict and peace are becoming increasingly evident, as climate impacts exacerbate resource competition, destabilise communities, and fuel tensions. This policy paper provides recommendations for integrating climate change considerations into UN peacekeeping missions. -

This report summarises the UNSC High-level Open Debate on climate change, food insecurity and the maintenance of international peace convened by Guyana. It dispells common myths and proposes operative measures for the wider UN system, international organisations, Member States and civil society. -
Upscaling peace-positive climate action and climate-informed peacebuilding: Lessons learned and ways forward
Currently, 90% of climate finance targets middle-income, high emission-producing countries leaving conflict-affected regions underfunded and vulnerable. This practical note captures 8 key takeaways on peace-positive climate action and climate-informed peacebuilding and provides recommendations for multilateral and bilateral donors, policy-makers and practitioners. -
Strengthening peace and resilience in a changing climate: Nine global trends and opportunities
The Weathering Risk synthesis report identifies nine pressing global climate security trends and opportunities based on 43 case studies, assessments, mapping exercises and scenario-based analyses produced during the first phase of Weathering Risk. -

Climate finance for fragile and conflict-affected contexts continues to fall short. Although extreme weather events affect three times as many people in fragile and conflict-affected states annually compared to other countries, they receive up to 80 times less climate finance. This practical note provides guidance for actors to deliver peace-positive climate action and climate-informed peacebuilding in fragile and conflict-affected contexts. -
Weathering Risk Climate Security Risk Assessment Methodology - Guide and Tools
The methodology and guidance was developed to facilitate risk-informed planning, enhance capacity for action and improve operational responses that promote climate resilience and peace. Based on two years of field testing through over twelve Weathering Risk assessments on the ground from the Pacific to the Levant, this guidance document has been adapted the original approach to make it easier, replicable and usable. -

As exclusion is a key driver of climate vulnerability, insecurity and conflict, climate action for peace can only happen in conjunction with a focus on inclusion. However, despite advancements in the Climate, Peace and Security agenda, marginalised groups are often left out of conversations. This practical note calls on climate, peace and security researchers, practitioners and policymakers to mainstream inclusion throughout all their areas of work.
