TAG:Lines / with Antoine Kallab
As the world gathers for COP 29, the ongoing discussions on climate change have never been more urgent, particularly around its impact on global security. The latest TAG:Lines podcast with Antoine Kallab explores the intricate link between climate change and conflict. Environmental stressors are increasingly recognised as exacerbating tensions and fuelling conflict, especially in fragile states. The episode further explores the link between climate change and extremism, with environmental degradation marginalised communities becoming more susceptible to radicalisation. To mitigate these complex challenges, we must apply conflict-sensitivity principles to environmental governance. By incorporating these into development programmes, we can help prevent tensions from escalating into violence. As climate change continues to shape global security concerns, adopting such strategies is crucial for building resilience. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

TAG:Lines / with Ralph Baydoun
Over many decades, Lebanon has regularly found itself at the epicentre of Middle Eastern conflict. In part, this is proof that ‘geography is destiny’. But for historical reasons Lebanon has also faced unique challenges in forging a unified state that can assert its sovereignty, making it a convenient operating base for sectarian forces, a focal point for regional power struggles, and a battleground for other people’s wars.In the latest episode of the TAG:Lines podcast series, we invited Ralph Baydoun, Analyst and Director of InflueAnswers, to discuss the spillover of conflict into Lebanon. What are the roots of Lebanon’s vulnerability, how should it respond to current and future conflict within its borders, and can it ever become a state capable of asserting its own right to sovereignty and self-determination?

TAG:Lines / with Kayle Giroud
The internet transcends borders, and less developed regions face unique challenges in navigating cybersecurity threats. The internet was not designed as a secure system, and advanced cybersecurity technology and structures are prohibitively expensive for many developing nations, leaving them vulnerable to cyber attack by both states and criminals.The Global Cyber Alliance (GCA) is dedicated to a secure internet. By mobilising key actors and building cross-sector support, GCA works tirelessly to reach at-risk audiences, raise awareness of the dangers, and implement strategies to protect the most vulnerable. In the latest episode in TAG:Lines podcast series, we invited Kayle Giroud, a Director at the Global Cyber Alliance, to discuss this work. The conversation delved into the history of the internet, its inherent security challenges, and what needs to be done to bolster cyber security worldwide. Hosted on Acast.
