GISF held its inaugural Global Security Risk and Policy Conference in Dublin from 26-27 February 2025. The event was themed around resourcing and funding security risk management.
We were pleased to welcome over 100 attendees to the Conference. These included representatives from:
- GISF members and associates
- United Nations agencies
- International agencies
- Donors
- Network and coordination platforms
- University and research institutions
- Think tanks and policy institutes.
Through a series of talks and panel discussions, we identified strategies for how to maximise available resources and make a stronger case for security risk management funding.
We are now please to share the full Conference notes for everyone to read. You can download the notes from this page. Inside, you will find summaries of each of the Conference sessions, as well as the recommendations that came out of the event. In addition to identifying short-term opportunities, we aimed to reach common positions to evolve the security risk management system. The key recommendations are summarised at the end of the document under four themes:
- Maximising government donor resources for security
- Exploring alternative funding and financing solutions
- Consolidating security resources and sharing services
- Enhancing security resourcing for local and national partners.
