EU foreign and security policy on climate-related security risks / [electronic rsource] Niklas Bremberg. - Solna : SIPRI, 2019 - 7 p. - SIPRI policy brief .

"November 2019" SIP1923 This SIPRI Policy Brief analyses EU responses within its foreign and security policy to climate-related security risks, focusing on developments since the release of the 2016 EU Global Strategy. It concludes that the EU already has several instruments at its disposal but the EU and its member states need to raise their ambitions. This SIPRI Policy Brief recommends that: (a) EU climate diplomacy should integrate climate security; (b) knowledge provision and risk assessment should be enhanced; (c) mandates for missions within the EU’s Common Security and Defence Policy should be broaden; and (d) EU–United Nations cooperation should be strengthened. This research has been funded by the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and has been conducted in collaboration between the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) and the Swedish Institute of International Affairs (UI).
