While climate change is increasingly recognised as a shared regional concern, the political and institutional conditions necessary to address it collectively are limited.
While the gap cannot be resolved, it must certainly be acknowledged, and where possible, reconciled.

The report and workshop follow years of work on the security implications of climate change conducted by IPCS & @Clingendaelorg.
