The 55th Munich Security Conference 2019 was held from the 15-17th of February in Munich, Germany.
Own words
The Munich Security Conference 2019 had a particular focus on the need for more cooperation on European defense, transatlantic relations, and "disarmament". Reaching beyond traditional defence topics, human security and climate security were discussed more prominently than ever before at the MSC.[1]
In light of a rising great power competition, European leaders emphasized the need and their willingness to make the European Union a more capable actor in world affairs that can stand its ground for liberal values. German Minister of Defense Ursula von der Leyen acknowledged, "Whether we want it or not, Germany and Europe are part of this power competition. We are not neutral." In particular the need for more cooperation on European defense was a point of emphasis.
Reaching beyond traditional defense topics, human security and climate security were discussed more prominently than ever before at the MSC. During a panel discussion on the main stage, Bunny McDiarmid, Co-Executive Director of Greenpeace, was chosen to particpated because she said world leaders had so far failed to address climate change with the appropriate urgency.
