On 14 February, the staunch supporter of climate-security issue, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence François Bausch, will host an event to present the key findings of the World Climate Security Report 2020 in Luxembourg. General Tom Middendorp (ret), the Chair of the IMCCS and Associate Senior Research Fellow at the Clingendael Institute, will arrive in Luxembourg to present the main findings of the World Climate Security Report 2020. Along with DPM François Bausch, Gen. Middendorp (ret) will talk to Luxembourg press and three parliamentary committees (Foreign Affairs, Defense & Environment). The topics he will address include the geopolitical impact of climate change, the effects of climate change on the military and defence, and the areas where human security risks spill over into higher-order security risks.
This event is hold back-to-back with the 56th edition of the Munich Security Conference 2020 held from February 14 to 16 in Munich, Germany.
