Laura Birkman | Event: Understanding Climate Violence

October 29, 2024

On Monday, November 4, HCSS senior strategic analyst Laura Birkman will participate in a panel on how climate violence impacts community resilience – and what to do about it.

Registration Link

Join us for an engaging evening as we unpack the who, where, what, and whys of climate-related violence. How is climate change contributing to violence? In a rapidly warming world, what can be done to stifle the threat of worse hostilities down the line and limit the impact on communities? And, amid cascading risks, how is climate security overlapping with other pressing issues, such as inequality and misinformation?

Journalist Peter Schwartzstein will be joined by leading environmental and peacebuilding practitioners to explore the varied and fast-intensifying forms of global tension and conflict fueled by the biggest question of our time – climate change.

Schwartzstein will share many of the key themes and examples from The Heat and the Fury, his recently published book and the first in-depth exploration of climate-related violence for the casual reader. He has spent more than a decade documenting how climate stresses are bleeding into violence big and small, including ISIS’s exploitation of collapsing agricultural conditions to bolster its ranks in Iraq––and the impact of rising seas levels on Bangladeshi piracy.

This event, held in the immediate run up to the next global climate conference, COP29, aims to engage a broader audience in discussions about climate security risks, particularly as they intersect with other critical issues. The audience is invited to ask their pressing questions to the speakers. Speakers will also strive to raise public awareness about what has traditionally been a topic confined to academic and security discussions. By highlighting these connections, the event above all seeks to foster a more comprehensive understanding of the implications of climate change on global relations.

Speakers:
  • Peter Schwartzstein – journalist and author of The Heat and The Fury
  • Emanuele Fantini – IHE Delft Institute for Water Education
  • Nynke Schaap – PAX
  • Laura Birkman – The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies
Practical information
  • When: November 4, 17-19
  • Where: The Hague Humanity Hub
  • Cost: Free of charge, but registration required
