Cohort IV: Climate-related security risks and sustaining peace

UNDP OGC along with Folke Bernadotte Academy co-hosted the fourth cohort on the topic of ‘Climate-related security risks and sustaining peace’ from 2–6 December 2019 in Stockholm. 

Selected Fellows working at the country level explored this topic in-depth and generated new insights and knowledge on this topic. 

This Cohort gave the Fellows an opportunity to reflect on their work supporting climate security and sustaining peace at the local and national level, identify both the added value and challenges that they have observed, and come up with recommendations for strengthening this important workstream.
