A resolution for a peaceful climate : opportunities for the UN Security Council / [electronic resource] Camilla Born , Text - Solna : SIPRI, 2017 - 12 p. - SIPRI policy brief .

SIP1723 "January 2017" The UNSC’s modest investments in conflict prevention have generated considerable progress in a few discrete areas. It has established four clear functions for conflict prevention: (a) political elevation of root causes; (b) institution building and reform; (c) coordination of the UN system; and (d) mainstreaming into security operations. In taking action on climate security, the UNSC could help to strengthen climate risk-informed decision making and facilitate a coordination function on climate security across the UN system. This policy brief was produced as part of SIPRI’s project on Climate Change and Security funded by the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs. Responsibility for the information and views set out in this policy brief lies entirely with the author.
