  • A very informative podcast

    One of my favourites! It does a fantastic job of analysing the climate-security-peace nexus with a range of fascinating topics. I think it does a great job of identifying the various points of entry as well as providing a basic understanding of the contexts in which these stories are centered. I’m so happy it’s back for another season!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 57: Sustainable peace from the ground up: Natural resource peace agreements in Nigeria
Q: So can you explain what makes these agreements different from a more conventional agreement and why embedding climate adaptation provisions was seen as so important?
They resolve ownership deadlocks by prioritizing resource sharing and embed climate adaptation, sustainable resource management, and climate-smart practices like land rehabilitation, afforestation, and water conservation, which helps these deals endure over time and address long-term risks, not just immediate disputes.
Episode 56: A landmark ruling: What the ICJ's advisory opinion on climate change means for climate security
Q: What are the limits or caveats of the ICJ opinion, especially in conflict-affected contexts where enforcement is harder?
The opinion is advisory and not directly enforceable; its obligations are strong but not automatically enforceable in courts. In conflict zones, political and capacity constraints can limit implementation, and the absence of an explicit enforcement mechanism means outcomes depend on national capacity and political will.
Episode 56: A landmark ruling: What the ICJ's advisory opinion on climate change means for climate security
Q: What are the practical diplomatic consequences of distinguishing a legal obligation from a policy preference in multilateral, bilateral, and domestic contexts?
It reframes climate negotiations as legal-to-diplomatic actions, strengthening a foundation for collective action in multilateral forums like the UNFCCC, shaping bilateral cooperation through obligations rather than mere goodwill, and pushing domestic policy to embed rights-based, transparent, and accountable climate governance.
Episode 56: A landmark ruling: What the ICJ's advisory opinion on climate change means for climate security
Q: Can you start us off by giving us an overview of what this opinion actually states, its core findings, and some of the obligations that it identifies?
The opinion clarifies that climate action is a legal obligation grounded in human rights and environmental protection, grounded in prevention, due diligence, precaution, and international cooperation, with implications for mitigation, adaptation, and finance. It also notes that these duties transcend individual treaties and can apply to states not party to specific climate agreements.
Episode 53: Women, Peace and Security agenda at 25: How can gender-responsive climate action be a pathway to sustainable peace?
Q: Norul, how are these dynamics taking shape in the Pacific and South Asia?
In the Pacific, women are leading initiatives to address climate impact through community-driven projects, showcasing their critical contributions to climate resilience and peace.
