08.01.2022 The United Nations, in partnership with the Governments of Kiribati, Tuvalu and the Marshall Islands launched a groundbreaking cross-border Climate Security Pro...ject in the Pacific today! The USD $3.2 million project is part of the UN Secretary-General’s Peacebuilding Fund the UN’s financial instrument of first resort to sustain peace in countries and regions at risk or affected by conflict, including caused by climate change. Over the next two years, the UN Climate Security Project will provide support to assess and begin activities to support addressing critical climate security challenges faced by the three nations, including displacement and forced migration due to loss of livelihoods, food sources and coastal erosion; increased social tensions linked to shrinking land and fisheries resources; as well as rising costs of responding to worsening natural disasters. Speaking at the launch from New York, Khaled Khiari, UN Assistant Secretary General for Middle East, Asia and the Pacific in the Departments of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs and Peace Operations, said: This project is ground-breaking in many ways. It is the first Peacebuilding Fund climate security project in the pacific; the first multi-country project of its kind in the region. Climate change in the Pacific has the potential to cause a myriad of cascading fragility and instability risks. This Project will focus on tailored climate security assessments, inclusive youth and gender-sensitive dialogues, and partnerships with key stakeholders in a bid to prevent reaching critical thresholds of social conflict. At the virtual and in person gathering of more than a hundred delegates, including key regional actors, diplomatic corps and civil society, the President of the Republic of Kiribati, H.E. Taneti Maamau; the Prime Minister of Tuvalu, Hon. Kausea Natano and the President of the Marshall Islands, H.E. David Kabua underscored the criticality of immediate efforts to address climate change challenges and the significance of this project. #PacificClimateSecurity
