UNITED NATIONS, Jan. 25-- The United Nations Security Council on Friday held an open debate to discuss the impact of climate change on peace and security, while calling for action to diminish the effects of global warming. "The risks associated with climate-related disasters do not represent a scenario of some distant future. They are already a reality today for millions of people around the globe," Rosemary DiCarlo, UN's political affairs chief, told the debate. After citing the various ways in which UN political missions, regional or country-based, are already actively seeking ways to address climate-related security risks, DiCarlo insisted on the need to focus on three key areas, including developing stronger analytical capacity with integrated risk assessment frameworks. |
