D2 - Climate Change and Conflict

Medact

Join three expert speakers for a high octane trip through climate change, global security, refugees, and, those pesky fossil fuels. If you attend this session, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to share the name of one piece of music that you’d like to leave for future generations. None of us know how long we have to tread this blue green planet, and we’d all like to leave our mark, wouldn’t we? In return for your gift, our panel of climate security experts and musicians will select a virtual ‘Desert Island Disks for the Climate’. Do join us, bring an open mind and open heart, to learn more about the complex inter-relations between instability, armed conflict and climate change. On the road to Paris and COP21, help to shape the debate. SPEAKERS: Devin Bowles (Australian National University), Janani Vivekananda (Climate Change & Security - International Alert), Frances MacGuire (Medact), with a musical from Tim Hollo and Ilana Cravitz.
