What does peace really mean in an age of climate crisis, deepening inequality and global instability?
In this episode of the award-winning Club of Rome Podcast, host Nolita Mvunelo speaks with Paul Shrivastava, co-president of The Club of Rome, about why traditional peace frameworks are no longer sufficient and what a planetary vision of peace requires today.
Drawing on The Club of Rome’s publication, "Planetary Peace for Human Security", Paul explains how existing systems rooted in military thinking and colonial legacies often reinforce the tensions they aim to resolve. Nolita and Paul discuss why peace must now integrate ecological resilience, social justice, human security and inner transformation.
This episode explores:
* Why peace must go beyond the absence of war
* How ecological breakdown and inequality threaten global stability
* The limitations of militarised and colonial-era peace models
* The need for systemic action and regenerative collaboration
* A reimagining of peace for a sustainable and flourishing future
The conversation invites listeners to move past outdated paradigms and adopt a transformative approach to peace that connects people and planet.
If you are interested in climate action, human security, systemic change, global governance, regenerative futures or the evolving meaning of peace, this episode offers valuable insights.
