G7 Foreign Ministers welcome new report “A New Climate for Peace”

The foreign ministers welcomed the report in the final communiqué and agreed with the conclusion that there is a need for better integrating climate-fragility considerations across foreign policy portfolios. “We have decided to set up and task a working group with evaluating the study’s recommendations up to the end of 2015 in order for it to report back to us regarding possible implementation in time for our meeting in 2016. For this purpose, the group will consider the need to, inter alia, facilitate the exchange of information and views, including with interested partners affected by situations of fragility, to better work in cooperation with interested partners affected by situations of fragility, to better understand and respond to climate-fragility risks, to work with existing institutions to make better use of and conduct integrated climate and fragility risk assessments, and to develop operational guidance materials.”
