‚The Nexus of Global Climate Change, Sustainability and Peace‘
After a crucial Peace conference in Switzerland on the war in Ukraine in Bürgenstock Resort in Switzerland[2] on 15–16 June 2024.[3] that brought into sharp focus the intertwined challenges of organized carbon war systems on climate in our time.

Dear climate strikers and fellow activists from around the world, September 15 we stand here in Vienna an all over the world and all not just as part of a movement, but as peaceful warriors for climate protection. We have achieved much, but we should not stand still. Now is the time to go beyond the strike, to hold those responsible for climate destruction in the realms of business, politics, and the military not only accountable. We should take their misused power in our hands and legs and take the necessary giant strides for climate transition und climate peace by disarmament. We are big, we are organised worldwide. We have plans and we will realise it step by step.

A new SIPRI Searchlight film takes an in depth look at what key stakeholders think about the idea of an institutional home for climate change at the United Nations.

And, ultimately, a UN security council which is fit to deal with the complex, overlapping security risks of our time.
