After the expiration of the Open Security Council discussion UN To protect civilians, the Greecethe Denmark, Francethe Sierra Leonethe Panamathe N. Koreathe Sloveniathe Kingdom and the Guyana They made a joint statement, stressing the urgent link between climate change, armed conflict and the increased vulnerability of civilians.
The statement was made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs George Gerapetritis.
Countries emphasized that climate disasters are increasing the dangers of conflict zones, especially for vulnerable groups such as women, children, the elderly and people with disabilities.
It was reported that 10 of the 12 countries with the most serious ecological threats are in war, while 70% of climate vulnerable countries are the most fragile, which creates dangerous overlapping between conflicts, displacement and environmental downgrade. It is estimated that 20 million people are displaced each year due to climate risks, creating constantly changing protection needs.
The statement emphasized that severe floods could stop education and increase the risk of recruiting children by armed groups. Women and girls face disproportionate risks, such as limited access to basic resources and increased exposure to gender -based violence during crisis. UN peacekeeping companies operating in areas with severe climate impacts face increasingly challenges, which makes it necessary flexible, climately sensitive strategies and early warning mechanisms.
Signatory countries have called for integrated, sensitive approaches to enhance the durability of communities, dealing with the deeper causes of violence and responding to the needs of the most vulnerable.
It was also emphasized that such holistic strategies are essential for both the protection of civilians today and for the preparation of tomorrow’s challenges.
Follows the joint statement:
“Today, the Security Council is meeting in an open debate on the protection of civilians. armed conflict.
Climate change, conflicts and protection of civilians are deeply interrelated. Climate -related impacts continue to aggravate the risk of conflict, trigger them and extend them, as well as intensify the vulnerable state of civilians, especially those living in conflict -affected areas. At the same time, they influence the character and intensity of the dangers facing civilians, further burdening the capabilities of state security forces and other executive bodies, including UN peacekeeping operations.
Ten of the twelve countries facing the most serious ecological threats are in conflict, while 70% of climate change countries are the most fragile. The weight falls heavier in the most vulnerable communities, which find it difficult to protect themselves from these multilevel and intersecting threats.
With about 20 million people being displaced internally each year due to climate risks, the link between conflict, displacement and climate change creates constantly changing protection environments. The vulnerability facing displaced civilians both during their movement and host communities require corresponding flexible protection efforts.
The impact of severe floods, for example, can interrupt access to education, leaving children and young people more exposed to recruitment and exploitation by armed groups. In addition, elderly people and people with disabilities face unique challenges in mobility and survival in climate -affected areas, especially where basic infrastructure and support services remain. Women and girls are also disproportionate.
Existing inequalities limit their access to resources such as food, water, land and proper housing. In many contexts, women and girls are more likely to be exposed to dangers and losses caused by catastrophes, have fewer capabilities to adapt to changing climate conditions and are forced to travel longer distances to collect water and firewood, exposing themselves.
Most UN peacekeeping companies ordered to protect civilians are operating in areas that are severely affected by climate change. These missions face increasing difficulties in implementing their strategies for protection, due to unforeseen environmental conditions – such as floods, landslides, droughts, desertification and epidemics – that exacerbate existing conflicts and violence and complicate peace. To respond to the protection order, peace efforts must evolve to ensure more flexible, climate sensitive and resistant strategies, as well as early warning mechanisms that can provide and meet these challenges. They must be ready to predict the impact that extreme weather events can have on their ability to execute basic commands, including civilian protection.
We have to prioritize integrated, sensitive conflict strategies that enhance the resilience of communities, face the deeper causes of conflict, enhance the ability to adapt and meet the needs of the protection and assistance of the most vulnerable populations. In this way, we not only improve the treatment of today’s protection challenges brought about climate change, but we are also better prepared for tomorrow. “
