Episode 4: Destabilising climate

Extreme weather events, exacerbated by climate change, are being felt worldwide. This in turn is increasing the competition over scarce resources, which can potentially fuel mass migration and conflict. 

In our fourth episode we ask if climate change is fuelling conflict, or if it’s one of many contributing factors. Joining us is Lieutenant General Richard Nugee, a Non-Executive Director for Climate Change and Defence and Oluwakemi Ajakaiye  from Ampak Nigeria Limited, a sustainability and environmental consultancy based in Nigeria.

We discuss what steps the military and civil society can take, to help societies adapt to climate change and reduce the possibility of further conflict.
