Episode 1: Climate Security Amid Geopolitical Shifts

Geopolitical competition and conflicts have added a layer of complexity in the world’s efforts to lower carbon emissions. In this first episode of NTS Perspectives, we speak with Major General (ret’d) Muniruzzaman, President, Bangladesh Institute of Peace and Security Studies (BIPSS) and Chairman, Global Military Advisory Council on Climate Change (GMACCC), to unpack climate security amid geopolitical shifts, the impacts of climate change, and what states can do to realistically fulfil their climate goals. NTS Perspectives is a podcast by the Centre for Non-Traditional Security Studies at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. We speak with experts from Asia-Pacific and beyond to share their views on pressing non-traditional security issues, ranging from climate change, food security, the energy transition, biosecurity, planetary health and Women, Peace and Security (WPS).
