The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) does not have a climate security resolution that formally places the matter on the council’s agenda, nor a dedicated budget for this area. Yet, the climate security agenda has still advanced through collaborative networks at mission and regional levels. As Denmark assumes a non-permanent UNSC seat, it should commit to a flexible approach to strengthen these networks, emphasising nexus approaches that integrate climate adaptation support, climate finance and peace efforts.
