Vienna, 3 November 2025 – How gender shapes people’s experiences of climate change and security risks was the central theme of the “Resilient Futures: Linking Climate, Gender and Security” conference organized by the OSCE Office of the Co-ordinator of Economic and Environmental Activities (OCEEA). The event presented new research by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) on the gendered dimensions of climate-related security challenges across the OSCE region.
Tanja Jakobi, Executive Director of the Public Policy Research Centre, spoke at the panel discussion alongside experts from SIPRI, Ireland, and international gender and climate specialists. She briefly presented the results of the study “Gender, Climate, and Security: Why Is It Important to Include Climate Change in the New National Action Plan for the Implementation of Resolution 1325 in Serbia?” and emphasized the importance of integrating gender-sensitive analysis into climate and security policymaking, highlighting that responses become more effective and equitable when they reflect the different experiences and needs of women and men.
Participants exchanged good practices on advancing women’s leadership, inclusive decision-making, and strengthening community resilience. The event concluded a year-long series of regional dialogues and workshops whose findings will contribute to a policymaker toolkit to be released in 2026.
