Climate Security Mechanism progress report 2024

This report summarizes the main achievements of the Climate Security Mechanism in 2024 towards advancing peace-positive climate action, catalyzing climate-informed approaches to peace and security, and forging partnerships with actors at all levels.

The CSM is a joint initiative by the United Nations Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs (DPPA), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the United Nations Department of Peace Operations (DPO). It aims to strengthen the capacity of the United Nations (UN) and its partners to systematically analyze and address the linkages between climate change, peace, and security (CPS). The CSM leverages partnerships and strengthens its work by drawing on experiences and capacities of its four constituent entities.
