Last chance to submit your contribution to the Hague Declaration on Planetary Security

The Hague Declaration on Planetary Security was launched to support concrete steps to advance in the six action areas outlined in the Declaration. Ahead of the Planetary Security Conference 2019 we developed a new website that covers progress regarding the 6 action areas of the Hague Declaration on Planetary Security. Until 15 March 2019 you can still submit the contributions of your organization in this field.

 

What has been achieved towards implementing the Hague Declaration on Planetary Security?

One year after the launch of the Hague Declaration on Planetary Security actions and projects have been initiated and implemented on the ground which moved the Planetary Security community closer towards achieving the goals set out in the declaration. An overview of progress made on all six action areas of the Hague Declaration over the last year is presented in this online platform. The website showcases actions and activities related to the Hague Declaration aiming to encourage further action on climate and security.

 

Let us know how you address climate and security

While substantive progress has been made over the last year, we are still looking for more examples how to address climate and security on the ground. Help the Planetary Security community to move further with implementing the Hague Declaration's  goals by providing examples of how you address climate and security in your work. Share your experiences with us before 15 March 2019.

 

What is the Hague Declaration on Planetary Security?

The third Planetary Security Conference in December 2017 called for a move from ‘analysis to action’, resulting in the launch of the Hague Declaration on Planetary Security. Signed by over 100 high level signatories and setting out a shared agenda for action on climate-security, the declaration was the first ever call to action to address climate change and security and included the following six action areas:

  • Creating an institutional home for climate security,
  • Coordination on migration and climate change responses
  • Urban resilience,
  • Joint risk assessment in Lake Chad,
  • Climate and conflict sensitive development in Mali, and
  • Sustainable water strategies in Iraq
