This week, the Nexus25 project released its second episode of Reshaping Multilateralism, a podcast at the climate-insecurity-migration nexus. Episode 2, “The View from the Frontlines: Nexus Challenges in South Asia,” takes listeners to the world’s most populous – and climate-vulnerable – region. From erratic monsoon seasons in India to tropical cyclones in the Philippines, policymakers and local populations alike are on the frontlines of climate change, grappling with extreme impacts of climate change on their livelihoods, agriculture, and security.
Host Thin Lei Win and this week’s guests, Ameera Adil, the Senior Manager for Sustainability at one of Pakistan’s largest universities and Debbie Aung Din Taylor, co-founder of the award-winning social enterprise Proximity Designs, which provides affordable products to Myanmar’s small scale farmers discuss regional nexus dynamics, opportunities for policy leadership, needed reforms to unlock climate finance, geopolitics and more – all in the hopes of catalyzing greater climate resilience in the region.
“Reshaping Multilateralism” is a production of the Nexus25 project, a joint Istituto Affari Internazionali / Center for Climate and Security initiative funded by Stiftung Mercator in Germany and produced in partnership with storielibere.fm.
