Participants underlined the necessity of global cooperation and solidarity with the most affected countries. Moreover, they emphasized the need for ambitious mitigation policies, but also for building a preventative framework for action at the global level to help foreign policy actors address climate-related security risks. Across a range of panel discussions that analysed challenges and entry points as regards the impacts of climate change on displacement, socio-economic conflicts and state fragility, a strong and clear consensus emerged among speakers in support of the three tenets of the Berlin Call to Action that was launched at the conference.
