Contributor(s): Mohid Rehman Malik, Professor Neta C. Crawford, Sherri Goodman | This episode examines the intersection between climate change and global security. Professor Neta Crawford (University of Oxford) and Sherri Goodman (Wilson Centre) discuss how the American military can be implicated in making climate change worse through either direct conflict, or by its own carbon footprint. They also discuss how climate change induced natural disasters contribute to destabilisations that may eventually call upon military actions to address the problem. Do we need to change our understanding of security to include how the role of the military may make us more vulnerable to climate change?

Contributor(s): Mohid Rehman Malik, Professor Susana Beatriz Adamo, Professor Sarah Bermeo | In this episode, we examine the interaction of climate change with migration. Through this lens, we explore America’s role in engaging with climate related forced movement in Latin America, and from Latin America to the US. Professor Sarah Bermeo (Duke University) and Professor Susana Beatriz Adamo (Columbia University) discuss the implications of climate change induced migration, including whether it is even possible to attribute this migration to climate change. This episode begins to uncover the deep-rooted, structural problems that need to be overcome to offer a robust solution to climate change migration, as well as the potential inadequacies of development aid to address climate change related issues in the developing world.

Contributor(s): Professor Kathryn Hochstetler, Christopher Callahan, Mohid Rehman Malik | What is the US’ role in the climate crisis, and can a climate change framework exist without addressing climate change reparations and the different experiences of climate change across the globe? In the first episode of Climate Change: America and the World, Professor Kathryn Hochstetler and Christopher Callahan discuss the experiences of climate change in the Global North and Global South. The discussion examines the role that international climate frameworks, including annual global COP summits, play in providing a venue for developing nations to voice their climate grievances, and whether financial compensation is needed to effectively address unequal climate damages.

Contributor(s): Sherri Goodman, Professor Laura Pulido, Jeremy Williams, Professor Kathy Hochstetler, Beth Gardiner, Professor Rebecca Bromley-Trujillo | Climate change is one of the most important global issues. But what is the United States’ responsibility for climate change, and for its effects on the rest of the world? In Climate Change: America and the World, a new podcast from the London School of Economics’ Phelan US Centre, we look for answers to these questions and more by talking to leading experts working on climate change.
Climate Change: America and the World is a six-part podcast series released from May 2023, and is produced by Mohid Malik, Chris Gilson, and Anderson Tan.
