Climate Adaptation for Peace: The Path to Resilient Societies in a Polycrises Era

Bridging Climate Action and Peacebuilding with The Climate Security Sensitivity Tool (CSST)

In a world facing the climate crisis, we must recognize that climate adaptation and development initiatives can have profound implications for peace, security, and conflict. Ignoring these interconnections can lead to maladaptation and unintended consequences, including exacerbating grievances, marginalizing vulnerable groups, and intensifying conflicts over essential resources. Join our upcoming webinar to understand the critical role of climate-sensitive programming in fostering peace and security and the advantage the CSST offers.
