Our last side-event at #COP29 will come to a close today, but our staff are sharing some excellent reflections on climate change and security sector reform - stay tuned for more!

Pleasure to speak at #MSF2024 about how governance and people-centered crisis management are great instruments for strengthening social cohesion, state legitimacy and countering hybrid threats. @DCAF_Geneva

[Institute for European Policies and Reforms @IPREMD]

Viola Csordas, SSR Advisor, DCAF Geneva: The governance aspect is really a key ingredient to making crisis management an instrument to strengthen this facility. These are hybrid threats, not only a tool to deal with an ex-natural disaster #MSF2024

Really enjoyed the discussion on evolving missions of armed forces in changing & hybrid security landscape and models for ensuring civilian oversight & accountability. Management of human resources reinforced as a central element for effectiveness, efficiency and accountability.

[George C. Marshall Center @Marshall_Center]

♟️#GCMC's Lt. Col. Jeff Bonheim & Ms. Viola Csordas w/ @DCAF_Geneva discussed defense & security forces in the Rules-Based International Order during #PASS24. Key points: The need for trust, clear expectations, & balance between security, human rights & democratic governance.

Unfortunately so true.
Take a look at @DCAF_Geneva s growing body of evidence on where and how security sectors can support climate change adaptation and environmental protection:

[United Nations Office of Rule of Law and Security @UN_OROLSI]

“We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator” - @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres.

National security sectors must urgently mitigate, adapt to, respond to, and cooperate (#MARC) during the climate crisis. #SSRweek #OurCommonFuture

[UNDRR @UNDRR]

🚨Climate change is one of the main drivers of disaster risk. 🌐

🌿Climate action can help reduce disaster deaths, and should be integrated into disaster risk reduction strategies.

"A recent review of monitoring and evaluation practices for environmental peacebuilding projects found that one key challenge to advancing this field relates to the traditional silos environmental projects and peacebuilding projects are placed in"

[SIPRI @SIPRIorg]

#Somalia🇸🇴 is vulnerable to the impacts of #ClimateChange, in part because of the enduring effects of over three decades of violent conflict. This report offers lessons for #ClimateAction and #peacebuilding.
