Climate and Conflict

Session Overview

Information coming soon!

This session will focus on the profound ways in which warfare impedes efforts to combat climate change. With global military expenditures reaching $2.4 trillion last year, the diversion of critical resources starkly contrasts with the persistent underfunding of essential climate initiatives.

Our panel will delve into the far-reaching consequences of conflict, from the destruction of cities and infrastructure to the decimation of farmland, biodiversity, and human life. By exploring these challenges, we aim to shed light on the urgent need for peace as a catalyst for sustainable progress.

Meet Your Speaker

More information coming soon!

Focused very much these days on presenting and guest spotting for We Don't Have Time TV including hosting key shows from events like the annual UN climate conferences while also playing concerts for my new album #JustBecauseSomeBadWindBlows and backing vocals for Bernadette La Hengst.

This follows the Global Climate Action Summit in 2018 as director of comms and also strategic communications to the Earth Day Network for its 50th anniversary of Earth Day in 2020. This follows 17 mostly glorious and fun years with the United Nations, first with the UN Environment (UNEP) in Nairobi, Kenya where I rose to be Director of Communications/Spokesperson and Principal Speechwriter, and then as Director of Communications and Outreach/Spokesperson at the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Bonn, Germany where I had the honour to be the Spokesperson for the landmark Paris Climate Change Summit in 2015.
