Description
The Climate Security Conference 2025 will convene prominent leaders, experts, and stakeholders from across Europe and beyond to engage in critical discussions surrounding the nexus of climate change and security risks. As global temperatures rise, it is increasingly important to recognize the far-reaching implications of environmental changes on geopolitical stability, conflict, and migration. The event will feature keynote speeches, panel discussions, and case studies on the integration of climate science into security policy.
Through workshops and collaborative sessions, the conference will explore innovative solutions and technologies that can be leveraged to reduce climate-related risks, particularly in vulnerable regions. Participants will discuss the role of international cooperation in building resilient infrastructures, enhancing climate governance, and fostering sustainable development policies that address both environmental and security concerns. The conference will also focus on the adaptation strategies of nations facing extreme climate-induced disruptions, such as droughts, floods, and rising sea levels.
The goal of the event is to foster a more integrated approach to climate security, where scientific research, policy development, and global governance work hand in hand to create a sustainable future. Attendees will have the opportunity to network with experts, exchange ideas, and collaborate on actionable solutions for reducing climate-related risks. This is a must-attend event for anyone involved in climate policy, sustainability, and global security.
