On 19 April 2022, Plataforma CIPÓ, in partnership with the Global Partnerships for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC), held an expert-level consultation titled, “Localisation of Climate-Security Risk Assessment: Developing a Guidance Note as a Resource for Sustaining Peace.” The consultation brought together around 30 climate security experts and local leaders experts from countries in Africa and Latin America to provide feedback on a draft Guidance Note and to exchange existing methodologies and tested practical experiences in localisation of climate security risk assessment, prevention and early warning. The goal of the discussion was to understand the relevance of the Guidance Note and to improve methodological approaches that underpin local climate risk assessment, prevention and early warning practices, ahead of the launch of the report in various countries.
The Guidance Note on Localising Climate-Sensitive Risk Assessment, when finalised, will be a resource for climate security experts to promote and build on local resilience and support communities in their work of addressing climate security concerns.
