Practical Note UN Strategic Dialogue on Climate Peace and Security in Stockholm

The United Nations (UN) Climate Security Mechanism (CSM), the Folke Bernadotte Academy (FBA), and the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) co-convened a Strategic Dialogue on Climate, Peace and Security in Stockholm, Sweden, on 4 and 5 May 2024. The first-of-its-kind dialogue provided a forum for experience sharing among senior UN mission leadership as well as Climate, Peace and Security Advisors.

The dialogue yielded actionable ideas to advance climate, peace and security (CPS) in good offices, mediation and diplomacy; strengthen conflict resolution approaches and the prevention lens; advocate for climate finance for conflict-affected countries; and expand the inclusion of women and youth. This report captures key strategic insights and lessons learned from the Strategic Dialogue.
