Britain Names Madeleine Alessandri as Its First Special Representative for Climate Security
Britain has appointed former Joint Intelligence Committee chair Madeleine Alessandri as its special representative for climate security, the government said on November 11. Reuters reported that the role is the first of its kind in the world; Alessandri will advise Downing Street on the national security risks flowing from the climate crisis.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham is due to announce the appointment on Thursday at the COP31 climate conference in Antalya, Turkey. He is expected to say that everyone should recognise this summer was not normal, and that the climate crisis is upon all of us now.
According to the government, the new role involves strengthening international partnerships and ensuring climate and nature risks are treated as a matter of national security, with a focus on identifying risks before they develop into crises.
Burnham is expected to be the only G7 leader to address the COP31 leaders' summit; US President Donald Trump declined to send a delegation for the second year running.
