Voices for Peace and Conservation offers inspiring stories from people who are working to save nature while also promoting peace – from the plains of Northern Kenya to international conference rooms in Switzerland. As the world wakes up to the twin emergencies of climate change and biodiversity loss, it is increasingly clear how closely peace, conflict, environment and conservation issues are connected. Our guests demonstrate how bringing responses to these challenges closer together should and can be done. This podcast is a collaboration between Conservation International (CI), the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), PeaceNexus Foundation and the World Wide Fund for Nature Germany

How can we better combine efforts to protect nature and build peace?

led Somali Green Peace Association and Somali focal point for the African
Youth Initiative on Climate Change for a view from the field. And we are
joined by Ulrika Åkesson, Lead Policy Specialist Environment and Climate
Change and Anna Åkerlund, Lead Policy Specialist Peace and Security from
the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida) for insights on how to
push forward this agenda at the international policy level.
