THE EMERGING SECURITY CONSEQUENCES OF CLIMATE CHANGE: THE NEED FOR NEW POLICIES AND INSTRUMENTS

NATO 2022 STRATEGIC CONCEPT stated that the “Climate change is a defining challenge of our time, with a profound impact on Allied security. It is a crisis and threat multiplier. It can exacerbate conflict, fragility and geopolitical competition. Increasing temperatures cause rising sea levels, wildfires and more frequent and extreme weather events, disrupting our societies, undermining our security and threatening the lives and livelihoods of our citizens. Climate change also affects the way our armed forces operate. Our infrastructure, assets and bases are vulnerable to its effects. Our forces need to operate in more extreme climate conditions and our militaries are more frequently called upon to assist in disaster relief.”

WINNING  THE PEACE IN UKRAINE

WINNING THE PEACE IN UKRAINE

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE The Russian military aggression against Ukraine is the biggest threat to the regional and global peace. It destroyed the security architecture that was the guarantor of the peace and prosperity of the European continent. The continued aggression, the unceasing destruction of civilian infrastructure and the death of the civilian population, the deportation of people including children, the undermining of the global energy and food security make the prospects for peace even more blurred. What are the prospects for peace in Ukraine, how to achieve security in the Black Sea region, what is the role of NATO and the EU, what is the future of the European security architecture and others were the main questions that the participants discussed during the conference.
