This policy brief from the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) argues that scientific evidence, specifically from the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (AR6), supports the engagement of the UN Security Council (UNSC) with climate change. The authors aim to counter claims by some Council members that there is no clear scientific basis for linking climate change to security concerns, asserting that climate change constitutes a real risk to international peace and security.
