Die NiKE – was bedeutet sie für Frieden und Sicherheit?

Europa ist der Kontinent, der sich am schnellsten erwärmt. Das belegt der kürzlich veröffentlichte Bericht des EU-Klimadienstes Copernicus. Was das für die Sicherheit bedeutet, wurde in der ersten Nationalen Interdisziplinären Klimarisiko-Einschätzung (NiKE) eindrücklich erfasst. Sie wurde zum Auftakt der Münchener Sicherheitskonferenz 2025 vorgestellt. Hier hat eine wichtige, wenn auch ungewöhnliche Allianz aus Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), Metis-Institut, adelphi und Potsdam-Institut für Klimafolgenforschung (PIK) zum ersten Mal einen Bericht zusammengestellt, der Klimarisiken aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven erfasst. Denn die NiKE ist nicht nur klimapolitisch relevant, sondern gerade auch für die Entwicklungs-, Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik.

Beide Berichte fordern zum Handeln auf: Sie sollten der neuen Bundesregierung Rückenwind geben, insbesondere mit Blick auf eine deutsche Vorreiterrolle. Aus friedenspolitischer Perspektive gibt es sowohl Anknüpfungspunkte wie auch Leerstellen in der NiKE. Diese bieten Chancen und Handlungsoptionen für staatliche wie zivilgesellschaftliche Klima-, Friedens- und Sicherheitsakteure.
