The 774th meeting of the Peace and Security Council (PSC) in 2018 discussed the link between climate change as a ‘threat multiplier’ and conflicts in Africa. Formal and informal PSC meetings and consultations have prioritised and explored evidence-based solutions to climate-security threats. Recognising the urgency of the situation, the Council asked the African Union Commission (AUC) to conduct a study into the nexus of climate change and peace and security.
