Fawad Durrani is an expert on climate change, migration and displacement at Greenpeace Germany. He previously worked for various international NGOs in Afghanistan. He has been living in Germany for the past 9 years and earlier this year, he finally received German citizenship. At Greenpeace, his work focuses on raising awareness of the link between climate change, conflict and displacement.

Listen to this episode when we talk about the impact of climate change on global majority countries. In recent years, Europe has experienced a significant influx of refugees from conflict-affected regions. As we've discussed in previous episodes, climate change is a major driver of migration. Today, we'll explore how it also influences conflict, creating a complex interplay that's often overlooked in public discussions. We'll also delve into a crucial aspect: responsibility. We'll examine the emission and financial responsibilities of industrialised countries in addressing these challenges.
