The Climate-Conflict Nexus

With Helene Maria Kyed and Justine Chambers, both social anthropologists and senior researchers at the Danish Institute for International Studies, and Ah Lynn, researcher from northwest Myanmar. This fortnight on episode 65 of What's Happening in Myanmar, parliament is set to convene as rumours persist about potential appointments, including Min Aung Hlaing taking the presidency, a fuel crisis hits the petrol pumps in reaction to the widening war in the Middle East, and we discuss the climate change-conflict nexus and how people are experiencing climate change in Myanmar.
