The Climate Security Mechanism (CSM) Joint Programme, administered by the United Nations Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office (MPTFO), provides the CSM with a flexible and efficient pooled funding modality to support its work around the world. The CSM Joint Programme Document serves as the main instrument for the implementation of Phase III of the CSM (2023-2025). This phase has been designed to scale up good practices from the CSM’s work to date (captured in the independent evaluation covering the period 2020-2022), expand the CSM’s service offer, and maximize its catalytic impact locally.
The CSM is coordinated by a Core Team of dedicated staff from DPPA, UNDP, UNEP and DPO headquarters supported by a Secretariat. The CSM Core Team undertakes global workstreams – such as advocacy, knowledge co-generation and policy development – and coordinates initiatives in climate-vulnerable regions around the world, including through the deployment of climate, peace and security experts and trainings.
The CSM Joint Steering Committee is made up of the CSM team, representatives from Member State funding partners of the CSM, as well as MPTFO as administrative agent of the CSM Joint Programme.
More details, including the status of funding contributions through MPTFO to date, can be found on the MPTFO Partners Gateway. For more information, please contact the CSM Core team: csm-core@un.org.
