As the world is facing record numbers of violent conflicts and the effects of climate change become more tangible, the interplay between the two is increasingly visible - particularly at the local level. To mark International Day of Peace, the Berghof Foundation hosted an event to discuss new insights into how conflicts caused and exacerbated by climate change and environmental degradation can be locally managed. The event featured insights from Berghof’s work in Iraq and Somalia to shed light on the specific challenges and solutions.
Experts focused on what needs to be done in conflict-affected countries to strengthen local communities in adapting to climate-induced changes. Which approaches are needed to deal with conflicts caused or exacerbated by climate change? How can the development of such approaches be supported?
The discussion situated specific examples among the broader debate on climate security and local adaptation.
Welcome remarks by Andrew Gilmour, Executive Director, Berghof Foundation.

Ammar Zakri, Founding Member and Head of Northern Iraq Office, Peace Paradigms
Dr. Beatrice Mosello, Senior Advisor at adelphi
