Climate Policies and Finance for Sustaining Peace Network
The Climate Policy and Finance for Sustaining Peace Network, launched at COP29 under the Baku Hub and Call for Climate Action for Peace, marks a transformative step in the global effort to integrate climate action with peace and security. This Network builds on the foundation laid by the Climate, Peace, and Security Experts Academy, introduced at COP27, and serves as a high-level, policy-driven platform dedicated to strengthening capacities, mobilizing expertise, and enhancing the means of implementation for climate finance that sustains peace.
By fostering cross-regional collaboration and convening key stakeholders, the Network strategically informs climate-security policymaking and financing, ensuring that conflict-affected and fragile countries are better positioned to access, leverage and implement climate finance in ways that promote peace and resilience.
Why This Network Matters
As the first and largest global capacity-building network dedicated to climate, peace, and security, this initiative is uniquely positioned to:
- Elevate the role of climate finance in sustaining peace – advocating for its recognition as a priority in global climate negotiations and financing mechanisms.
- Strengthen institutional frameworks – driving policy coherence and integration across climate action, peacebuilding, and financial governance.
- Bridge knowledge and capacity gaps – equipping policymakers, climate negotiators, and finance practitioners with the tools and expertise to develop climate-resilient, conflict-sensitive solutions.
- Promote financial mechanisms tailored for fragile contexts – ensuring climate finance is more accessible, predictable, and effectively deployed in conflict-affected regions.
- Drive action at key global forums – amplifying climate-security financing in discussions at COP, UNFCCC processes, international financial institutions, and peacebuilding initiatives.
A Global Hub for Action and Collaboration
The Network serves as a dynamic convening space for policymakers, climate negotiators, financial institutions, and experts working at the intersection of climate, peace, and security. Through high-impact engagement, knowledge-sharing, and advocacy, it aims to create an enabling environment for climate finance that not only addresses climate risks but also contributes to sustainable peace.
By uniting practitioners, decision-makers and financial actors, the Climate Policy and Finance for Sustaining Peace Network is shaping the future of climate, peace and security financing and action, ensuring that vulnerable communities are not left behind in the global climate response.
