The panel discussion provided an opportunity to preview the content of The Armed Conflict Survey 2022, an IISS flagship yearly publication which provides an exhaustive review of the political, military and humanitarian dimensions of 33 active armed conflicts globally. The survey provides unique insights into the geopolitical and geo-economic threads linking conflicts across the world. It is designed in response to the need for forward-looking information for policy-makers, practitioners, academics and corporates operating in or near countries affected by conflicts.
In response to the Armed Conflict Survey 2022, panelists discussed the challenges arising from climate change and the geopolitical and geo-economic implications of a green energy transition. Experts explored geo-strategic competition for critical minerals and emerging conflict flashpoints and the instrumentalisation of resources in fragile and conflict-affected countries.
