Environmental Peacebuilders Working in the Midst of War
Fossil-fueled climate disruption is driving political instability around the world. The relationship between climate disasters and conflict are well-established — and also complicated. Even in war-torn regions like Israel and Palestine, people work across political and ethnic divides to address humanitarian and climate crises. The Arava Institute for Environmental Studies has helped bring together Israelis, Palestinians, Moroccans, and Jordanians to study and tackle shared environmental challenges. How does climate disruption reshape cross-border relations? And can climate cooperation become a force for peace?
Episode Guests:
Peter Schwartzstein, Environmental Journalist; Climate Security Researcher
Fareed Mahameed, Assistant Director, Center for Transboundary Water Management, Arava Institute for Environmental Studies
Liana Berlin-Fischler, Associate Director, Center for Applied Environmental Diplomacy, Arava Institute for Environmental Studies
