Summary
Nick Buxton is the co-editor of 'The Secure and the Dispossessed: How the Military and Corporations are Seeking to Shape a Climate-Changed World' and a communications consultant at The Transnational Institute, an international research and advocacy institute committed to building a just, democratic and sustainable world.
In this podcast episode, Nick shares why the prominent use of the term 'security' (such as water security, food security, border security) may be at odds with our goals to seek for climate justice; how large corporations and our government already have lesser-known plans to address climate change, but not in the ways we would want nor expect; and more.
