Why Violence Is Rising With Global Temperatures
Climate change doesn't just melt ice caps, it also fuels conflict, corruption and division worldwide, explains TED Fellow and journalist Peter Schwartzstein.
From droughts in Africa to rising seas in Bangladesh, he explores how climate stress escalates existing social instabilities — and underscores why every effort to curb a warming world matters, no matter how small.
Through his journalism, Peter Schwartzstein shines a global spotlight on climate change.
He reports on the immediate, present-day violence and disruption caused by climate-related environmental change.
Based out of Egypt and Greece, he mostly works in the Middle East, North and East Africa, and sometimes further afield.
