As the world gathers for COP 29, the ongoing discussions on climate change have never been more urgent, particularly around its impact on global security. The latest TAG:Lines podcast with Antoine Kallab explores the intricate link between climate change and conflict. Environmental stressors are increasingly recognised as exacerbating tensions and fuelling conflict, especially in fragile states. The episode further explores the link between climate change and extremism, with environmental degradation marginalised communities becoming more susceptible to radicalisation. To mitigate these complex challenges, we must apply conflict-sensitivity principles to environmental governance. By incorporating these into development programmes, we can help prevent tensions from escalating into violence. As climate change continues to shape global security concerns, adopting such strategies is crucial for building resilience.
