CGIAR JAN 7 2025
In 2023, the Climate Security Observatory (CSO) launched its first public version, aiming to bridge the gap between climate science and resilient peace. This open-source, online platform was created in partnership with Scio Systems, based on user-centric design principles to offer policymakers, researchers, and practitioners working at the intersection of climate, peace, and security a set of tools and analyses to support decision-making. The primary aim? To provide data-driven insights into the complex interactions between climate-related hazards, conflict and their impacts, and to help reduce resulting insecurities by promoting actionable, science-backed solutions.
After a year of implementation and gathering additional user feedback, the CSO is undergoing significant changes and improvements. This is to account for the activities and experiences of global users and regional partners. In this blog post, we explore the key transformations that will shape the CSO 2.0, highlighting the platform’s evolution and its growing impact.
Key outcomes: leveraging CSO evidence for policy
Since May 2023, the platform has had more than six thousand visits from 122 countries. Beyond that, one of the CSO’s most notable achievements during its first year was its contribution to policy formulation across various regions. For example, in Kenya, the platform’s analysis helped shape the country’s National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP III), ensuring that climate security was adequately addressed in the national adaptation and mitigation strategy for 2023-2027. In Senegal and Zambia, CSO data and analytics helped integrate a climate, peace, and security lens into national strategies (the National Committee for Climate Change and the Green Growth Strategy, respectively), particularly through capacity development and data-sharing frameworks.
Regionally, in East Africa, CSO data informed the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and the African Union, promoting climate-sensitive security policies in the region and in Central America. It contributed to updating the Central American Commission on Environment and Development’s Regional Climate Strategy, ensuring a focus on climate security.
These examples demonstrate the CSO’s effectiveness in assessing climate security risks from various perspectives and translating those insights into actionable policy across different geopolitical contexts.
