From our #BCSC2025 session on "Rethinking vulnerability & resilience in island nations" - Jamie Tarawa from @undp.org
shared insights from the Pacific context - "In many Pacific languages, there is no direct translation for vulnerability, but there is for resilience."
Ghulam Isaczai (UN Assistance Mission for Iraq) shared a key insight during our #BCSC2025 breakout session on "Climate-smart post-conflict recovery".
"In Iraq, like in any post-conflict recovery, therefore, integrating climate risks is not an option, but a precondition for lasting peace."
As Dr. Marcus Schroder (BMUKN) stated in our breakout session on crimes that affect the environment -
"From drug cartels in Latin America to Al-qaeda and ISIS, environmental crime is funding illegal organisations, fueling corruption, conflict and violence"

Opening the #BCSC2025 panel "Bridging the Gap: Innovative climate finance for fragile states", Almut Wieland-Karimi emphasizes that the countries least responsible for climate change are the most vulnerable & receive the least money.
We need to make finance fit the context, not the other way around
