Baghdad, Iraq

In this edition, we ask whose water AI is really consuming in India, hear how communities in Balad, Iraq are building resilience through shared water governance, and examine how Syria's unresolved environmental pressures continue to fuel instability. Additionally, you can listen to our Climate Diplomacy podcast episode, which explores natural resource peace agreements in Nigeria. 

We also bring you an event summary from BCSC New Yorka conference which examined how the broader UN system can better address climate-driven security risks 

Lastly, save the date for the annual Berlin Climate and Security Conference, which returns on 6 October, connecting governments, international organisations, experts, and practitioners from around the world. 

Have a great read,
Your Editorial Team
