Climate As A Driver Of Conflict | General Ghazi

Support this channel via https://genn.cc or https:patreon.com/genncc This episode features an interview with former Pakistani Defence Minister General Ghazi. I recorded this at COP25 in Madrid and am replaying here because General Ghazi identifies with great clarity, a stage process that can lead a nation or region into conflict. General Ghazi also outlines the critical role of the military as first responders, when climate extremes create society-wide suffering. The question is here, what more can we learn from experts in risk that can help us build societal resilience and promote cooperation as opposed to conflict in the face of a challenging future? General Ghazi is a member of the Global Military Advisory Council On Climate Change (GMACCC).
