Join us in Berlin for a panel discussion on 28 November with author Peter Schwartzstein and climate activist Nisreen Elsaim: "On the frontlines of climate conflict – Making sense of violence in the age of global heating". Climate change is not just an environmental crisis, but a growing source of civil unrest and global violence. In his groundbreaking new book, "The Heat and the Fury: On the Frontlines of Climate Violence", environmental journalist and author Peter Schwartzstein lays out in detail how drought, heat and other climate extremes are exacerbating conflict, and all through the stories of the people who are experiencing all of this in their daily lives. Peter will be joined by Nisreen Elsaim, a prominent Sudanese climate activist with over ten years of experience in climate policy, peace and security, and youth empowerment. Clean Energy Wire and Stiftung Mercator are organising this event on 28 November (walk-in from 17.30 CET) in the Community Space of iac in Berlin. Be sure to sign up (link in the first comment) for insightful conversations followed by networking with snacks and drinks. #climate #journalism #global heating
