As we @nextpathwayslab continue to uncover paths to #prosperity and #peace, the need for 'a reformed multilateral system' is increasingly evident to address complex global challenges and ensure equitable representation of diverse voices in international decision-making processes
"I am a committed multilateralist.”
“A reformed multilateral system is the path to peace and prosperity on a livable planet."

Why are the next 3 months critical for people, nature and climate?🌱
Decision-makers from nearly every country on the planet will attend a series of high-profile international summits between now and the end of the year. Together, they have an unprecedented opportunity to finally put the world on track for a livable future.

Happy to announce that my PhD students @NRInstitute and I will host a panel session on "defueling violent conflict and climate crises in drylands" tomorrow at the Environmental Peacebuilding Conference in the Hague @EnvPeacebuild. Exciting times ahead!
Recently presented @nextpathwayslab research on "the nexus of climate & conflict in the #LakeChad region: what we know, don’t know and need to know " at the @ussee 2024 conference in #Albany New York State.

Our @nextpathwayslab "YOUNG CITIZENS PANEL" is starting right now in the city of #Maiduguri. Our goal is to track the politics of knowledge underpinning prosperity and peace using two rounds of panel meetings involving young people with an expert workshop in between
Our "constructivist citizen labs" in #Nigeria, #Niger & #Chad are underpinned by constructivist principles, meaning they're not like normal workshops, seminars or world cafes where expert facilitators control the flow of ideas & reinforce "banking models" of #knowledge generation
