The Climate Security Expert Network (CSEN), which comprises some 30 international experts based around the globe, supports the Group of Friends on Climate and Security and the Climate Security Mechanism of the UN system by synthesising scientific knowledge and expertise, advising on entry points for building resilience to climate-security risks, and helping to strengthen a shared understanding of the challenges and opportunities of addressing climate-related security risks. The network is supported by a grant from the German Federal Foreign Office: the Secretariat of the CSEN is run by the Berlin-based think tank adelphi.
