In short: Climate change extends far beyond melting ice caps. This video explores how climate-driven stress, such as droughts and rising seas, acts as a catalyst for increasing violence, corruption, and global division.
Journalist and TED Fellow Peter Schwartzstein examines the link between environmental shifts and human instability. He illustrates how specific climate stressors, including droughts in Syria and rising sea levels in Bangladesh, escalate existing social tensions and contribute to a rise in global conflict and corruption.
