# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Environmental Politics of War - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 18 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 am – Fri, 18 Sep, 2026 at 04:00 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: This workshop will foster critical discussions around the environmental politics of war and conflict.About this EventWarfare and conflict are devastating socially, politically and environmentally, generating mass casualties, displacement, disruption to civic life and a sense of a viable future, and environmental sacrifice zones. From military training to direct conflict, dropping bombs and nuclear weapons, warfare undermines the ecosystems that enable life on earth, namely through dramatic habitat alteration, disturbance and environmental pollution.Recent years have seen high-profile military conflicts, an increased sense of geopolitical insecurity and active rearmament among many states. The planned expansion of military spending by NATO countries is incompatible global climate targets, namely the goal of limiting warming to less than 2C as established by the Paris Agreement (Wong et al, 2025). However, the diversion of so many resources towards death and destruction instead of life-enabling systems and processes is a political choice, not an inevitability.In this context, the PSA Environmental Politics Specialist Group is a holding workshop that aims to foster critical discussions around the environmental politics of war and conflict.We will explore questions such as:In what ways do climate and biodiversity collapse serve as ‘threat multipliers’ for human disaster and conflict?What are the social, ecological and political ramifications of escalating conflict and warfare?What is the environmental politics/impacts of war?To what extent are global ‘green transitions’ accelerating militarisation, conflict and sacrifice zones? How can we effect more just transitions?Whither possibilities for socio-ecological regeneration in post-conflict zones?How might we collectively mitigate escalating militarism and conflict for building more peaceful, just and socio-ecologically resilient societies?Speakers include:Professor Caroline Kuzemko - University of WarwickDr Anabel Marín - Institute of Development StudiesEllie Kinney - Conflict and Environment ObservatoryDr Stuart Parkinson - Scientists for Global ResponsibilityProfessor Ewald Engelen - University of AmsterdamProfessor Jan Selby - University of LeedsDr Beatrice Mosello - Chatham HouseDr Abraham Nunbogu - United Nations UniversityThis event is being held in collaboration with the Environmental Politics Research Cluster (based in the University of Warwick's Department of Politics and International Studies).Agenda🕑: 09:30 AM - 10:00 AMArrivals and Coffee🕑: 10:00 AM - 11:15 AMPanel 1 - The Green Transition, Resources and Geopolitical ConflictHost: Professor Caroline Kuzemko - University of WarwickInfo: Chair: Professor John Vogler - University of Warwick🕑: 11:15 AM - 11:30 AMBreak🕑: 11:30 AM - 12:45 PMPanel 2 - War: A Cause and Consequence of Climate ChangeHost: Ellie Kinney - Conflict and Environment ObservatoryInfo: Chair: Steve Dunne - University of Warwick🕑: 12:45 PM - 01:30 PMLunch🕑: 01:30 PM - 02:45 PMPanel 3 - Green RearmamentHost: Professor Ewald Engelen - University of AmsterdamInfo: Chair: Dr Oz Hassan - University of Warwick🕑: 02:45 PM - 03:00 PMBreak🕑: 03:00 PM - 04:00 PMKeynote Lecture: 'Climate Politics in the Shadow of War'Host: Professor Jan Selby - University of LeedsInfo: Chair: Professor Rita Floyd - University of Birmingham - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/coventry/the-environmental-politics-of-war/100001992632953805 - **Event Categories**: workshops, nonprofit, performances, art, theatre, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 7 hours - Location: University of Warwick - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Coventry - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: University of Warwick - **lat**: 52.3808648 - **long**: -1.5593617 - **full address**: University of Warwick, Faculty of Arts Building, Coventry, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Environmental Politics of War - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/e86de48a774860b2e4bbdfe26c5393507090722ddc2df40621737237f5899f88-rimg-w1200-h800-dce2ecf4-gmir.jpg?v=1783360178 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Environmental Politics of War being held? - **A:** The Environmental Politics of War takes place on Fri, 18 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 am to Fri, 18 Sep, 2026 at 04:00 pm at University of Warwick, Faculty of Arts Building, Coventry, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Environmental Politics of War? - **A:** The Environmental Politics of War is organized by PSA Environment. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
