Reshaping Multilateralism in the Face of Complex Crises
The project
Nexus25 is an ongoing transatlantic initiative focused on the renewal of outdated multilateral structures.
Through policy-oriented research, high-level events among political and operational stakeholders, and partnerships with on-the-ground experts, Nexus25 aims to contribute to a better understanding of complex crises traversing the food-climate-migration-security nexus. The project is carried out by the Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI) and The Center for Climate and Security (CCS), and is funded by Stiftung Mercator.
WHAT WE DO
Through research, policy dialogue and stakeholder engagement, Nexus25 seeks to spur joint action on nexus challenges and new forms of multilateral engagement.
Policy-Oriented Research
Supporting a better understanding of the complex interplay between climate risks, political instability and conflict - and the challenges this poses for security and peace.
High-Level Events
Serving as a convener for policy experts, development practitioners, civil society and security institutions.
Risk-Informed and Inclusive Policy Responses
Combining humanitarian aid, resilience and long-term peace perspectives into nexus approaches for institutions that work for everyone - not just the Global North.
