The most influential global figures in international security policy gathering this week (February 15-17) at MSC 2019 will consider climate change alongside issues of trade, arms control, transatlantic cooperation, technological innovation, and “a reshuffling of core pieces of the international order”. One of four regions of focus is the Sahel, where the effects of climate change and environmental degradation are adding “layers of vulnerability to an already fragile region” according to the Munich Security Report 2019.
