This comic is based on findings from our series of Climate, Peace, and Security Fact Sheets, which aim to present reliable, relevant, timely and actionable information and analysis on climate-related peace and security risks in selected countries and regions on the United Nations Security Council Agenda.
The Climate, Peace, and Security Fact Sheets are a joint product by the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI) and the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), with funding from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Climate change is fundamentally changing human security, ecological security and even international security. There is growing evidence of its impacts on peace and conflict, which is reflected in discussions in the United Nations Security Council. In a series of fact sheets, SIPRI and the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs' (NUPI) Climate-related Peace and Security Risks project has analysed the links between climate, peace and security in countries and regions on the UN Security Council’s agenda. In addition to illustrating the fact sheets’ findings on four interrelated pathways in the relationship between climate change, peace and security, the comic shares lessons learned on how the UN Security Council shapes policies for addressing the complex challenges arising from climate change.
