We hosted @frient-news.bsky.social & ECCP for their #BCSC2026 side event on climate, peace, security & finance from Bangladesh, Iraq, Sudan & Somalia.

Climate finance needs to be flexible, long-term & grounded in local realities, with stronger access for local orgs & greater support for capacities.

At #BCSC2026 with @unccd.bsky.social, we discussed how climate finance can reach fragile & conflict-affected settings & work.

Our Janel Galvanek highlighted the need to connect climate & peace actors, while our @nazaninemoshiri.bsky.social stressed local agency & breaking down financing siloes.

After 10 breakout sessions, 4 plenary sessions & 2 spotlight sessions, #BCSC2026 has officially come to an end. Thanks to everyone for making it a success.

Some side events continue tomorrow. Stay tuned for the session recordings, conference summary & photos.

Insight from #BCSC2026 spotlight session on resilience, biodiversity & security:

"We have to stop asking the question what will it cost us to protect nature? And we have to start asking the question - what security capability will it cost us if we go [without it]?" - Carol Vaughan, DEFRA UK

Stronger international #cooperation is the only way to address this effectively.
Foreign policy, #security policy and #climate policy, as well as humanitarian assistance and economic development, must work together to strengthen #resilience. @aussenminister.diplo.de at #BCSC2026 (3/3)

We see the global connections, the effects on #food #security, supply chains, #mobility, industrial production, #health, #energy supplies and prices. Whatever topic you take, our approach must be to outline concrete #solutions to pressing issues. @aussenminister.diplo.de at #BCSC2026 (2/3)

We can already see how increasingly extreme weather conditions are affecting & exacerbating many #crises & #conflicts worldwide. We see actors trying to use the impacts of #climate change as a weapon. @aussenminister.diplo.de at #BCSC2026, full speech 👉 diplo.de/2804960 (1/3)
