King Abdullah Economic City King Salman Solar City Nuclear Resource Medicine Ambasador Salkovic Rizvanovic Thank you

Don't you think full and comprehensive Transparency would be one of the main clues to create trust and allow the whole society to act toward fighting climate change in a positive and peaceful atmosphere?

Why only speaking of climate change and not environmental and biodiversity changes?

What kind of indicators or monitoring system are you using to avoid counterfactual or the problem of attribution to trace outcomes from other activities?

Thank you Jean-Louis and Hecomrales, could you please identify the organizations you are from too? Many thanks

I am a PhD researcher at the Humboldt University of Berlin

Thank you

Hi, I'm from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Belgium

Well noted - thanks

Thanks for great presentations. Adam Day from UN University. We just did some climate-security research (you can find here: https://cpr.unu.edu/climate-security.html) and one finding was that climate change was influencing urbanization rates. E.g. 400,000 Bangladeshis are moving to Dhaka annually, citing environmental factors. Did your research touch on urbanization at all?

Thank you Adam - your question is well noted.

Building simple and sensitive systems is important for countries in Sahel

It will be a kind request to email us these presentations for any future reading.

Thanks Pramod, we will share the presentations with the webinar participants at the end of today’s discussions

Thanks Ginevra.

The nexus Climate/environmental change and Security is a systemic and complex issue, implying feedback loops. What are the main ones being actually tackled by current projects and programmes?

Thank you Jean-Louis

Thank you for the presentations! Regarding both Adelphi's and the UN Climate Security Mechanism's: How do urbanization and urban-rural dynamics figure in the assessment of current activities? Are programs at the security-climate nexus focused predominately on rural areas / have an explicit urban focus? (Silvia Danielak, Researcher at MIT)

Well noted Silvia

Can you please mute

yes

What about adressing the (lack of) political will problem?

Thanks Jean-Louis well noted

what role does education play in climate security

I think the world should revert back to ancient and tribal practices related to environment and climate. What our speakers have to say about it ?

Indigenous innovations are important for climate resilience

Thanks Abdullahi...exactly, can't agree more.
