Environment and Security Initiative: Experts convene to address climate change and security risks in South Caucasus

As part of the ENVSEC project “Climate Change and Security in Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Southern Caucasus“, UNEP and OSCE jointly held two national consultation workshops: in Tbilisi, Georgia, on 8 May, and in Yerevan, Armenia, on 12 May. The workshops convened representatives and experts from national ministries and agencies, international organizations and civil society. Participants examined recent analyses of the trends and impacts of climate change and discussed policies to tackle climate change and its associated potential security risks.


Under this project, launched in 2013 with the support of the EU Instrument for Stability Programme and the Austrian Development Agency, national and regional consultation workshops are held to contribute to three regional climate change and security reports: for Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Southern Caucasus. The project aims to increase the understanding and awareness of climate change as a security challenge, and the consequent need for transboundary cooperation on climate change adaptation, and enhancing national and local stakeholders’ capacity to anticipate, prevent and mitigate the potential associated security risks.
