Join us for the 2021 Robert Kragalott Lecture on Genocide, Mass Atrocity, and Human Rights
Featuring Dr. Alexander Alvarez. The topic is “Nations and Nationalism in a Warming World: Genocidal Risk in an Era of Climate Change.”
Climate change is increasingly impacting communities and nations around the world, and challenging our ability to cope and adapt to new environmental realities. It also poses some very real hazards for the development of violent conflict. The focus of this presentation is on exploring some of the implications of climate change for facilitating war and genocide and tracing the ways in which climate-induced stresses will contribute to the development of exclusionary forms of nationalism as conflict over resources, borders, and displaced populations become more prevalent.
