  2. “We note presidential statement S/PRST/2011/15, of 2011, which requests the Secretary-General to include information on the security implications of climate change in his reports to the Security Council. We also draw the Council's attention to last year's presidential statement S/PRST/2018/3, which emphasizes the need for climate-risk analysis and a management strategy for such risks in the Sahel region. We hope to continue discussions on concrete ways to see follow-up measures. In order to prevent climate crises from further spiralling into threats to peace and security, international cooperation and support for vulnerable countries are crucial. It is necessary to simultaneously provide support for both development and governance capabilities, alongside support for climate adaptation.”

  3. “The Republic of Korea, as the current President of the Executive Board of the United Nations Development Programme, the United Nations Population Fund and the United Nations Office for Project Services, will endeavour to strengthen cooperation with other actors in order to facilitate integrated discussions on the humanitarian-development-peace nexus. In that regard, this week at the Executive Board we held an in-depth interactive dialogue on poverty eradication, including climate-related poverty, and approaches to strengthening ties between development and humanitarian assistance. Thirdly, the relevant Security Council's discussions should lead to tangible results.”

  4. “As such, there is a need for the United Nations to deepen collaboration and coordination in responding to the multifaceted security aspects of climate change. Last week, in his briefing to the General Assembly in an informal session, Secretary-General Guterres rightly pointed out that climate change is one of the United Nations foremost priorities this year. The Security Council should be no exception to this system-wide effort. My delegation is of the View that the joint meeting of the Peacebuilding Commission and the Economic and Social Council last year concerning climate change's impact on the security and humanitarian situation in the Sahel region was a meaningful effort in that regard.”

  5. “Elsewhere, it is becoming increasingly clear that climate change, interacting with other factors, is creating and pushing regional instability into full- blown conflicts and humanitarian crises, as has been reported in situations such as those in the Lake Chad basin and the Sahel. In many cases, there are limits to devising fundamental solutions to such situations without considering the security implications of climate change. Secondly, in order to stop climate change from further escalating into security challenges, we need a comprehensive response from the United Nations system as a whole. Climate change is the fundamental cross-cutting issue of our time. However, the current United Nations system is fragmented.”

  6. “At the outset, allow me to thank you, Sir, for convening today's open debate. I also thank the four briefers for their briefings. Regarding today's topic of debate, the Republic of Korea would like to highlight the following three points. First, it is crucial for the Security Council to comprehend the security implications of climate change in a systematic fashion and in line with our efforts to strengthen preventive diplomacy. Indeed, a comprehensive approach to the fundamental causes of conflicts lies at the very centre of preventive diplomacy. In countries such as small island developing States climate change itself poses the most significant threat to security.”
