On 6 October, the climate security community of practice met in Berlin to examine the most urgent and cutting-edge issues in climate and security today, to critically interrogate complex new challenges like securing critical minerals for a conflict-sensitive energy transition and to discuss how high COP28 expectations on finance for fragile and vulnerable contexts and Loss and Damage can be realis. [...] The BCSC 2023 programme aimed to focus on new and emerging issues and debates, with the three strategic goals of: Solutions for fragile contexts: Identifying ways to promote more accessible and conflict sensitive climate solutions (including finance) for fragile and conflict-affected communities in the lead up to COP 28 and beyond. [...] Tools and knowledge: Spotlighting tools, resources, and capacities to advance integration of climate and conflict sensitive analysis and policies into operations and programming on the ground. [...] Being motivated by the urgent need to promote, coordinate and advance concrete climate security approaches and initiatives, BCSC 2023 sought to showcase best practice of context specific, community driven and participatory climate- and conflict-sensitive policies and programming in order to build awareness of and capacity to use risk and foresight assessments and tools, translate it into peace bui. [...] BCSC 2023 built upon these discussions and explored solutions for fragile and vulnerable contexts with the aim to help build resilience in climate vulnerable and fragile countries and ensure climate solutions are conflict-sensitive in the lead up to COP28 and beyond.
