The Brussels Dialogue on Climate Diplomacy (BDCD) is an informal network  for the exchange of information and the promotion of cooperation among European institutions, international organisations, NGOs and think-tanks active in the nexus between climate change and international, national, human and environmental security.  

The BDCD project is coordinated by the Environment & Development Resource Centre.

The first meetings of the BDCD were held in 2016 and 2017 followed by regular meetings and other BDCD conferences since.
