"The impacts of climate change are already reshaping the landscape of diplomacy and security on a global scale, and its influence is set to intensify in the near future. Addressing climate-related security risks in conflict and fragile environments is crucial. At adelphi, I have a concrete opportunity to engage with relevant stakeholders, including policymakers and peacebuilders, to develop joint strategies addressing these risks within a conflict and climate-sensitive approach."
