The critical work of our time is the restoration of nature. Billions are required to transition to a safer planet. Instead, Over 2 trillion dollars are spent yearly to equip military operations, and provide armaments for wars around the world. As thousands flee or are killed in the bombings, cities and critical ecosystems are being destroyed, pouring millions of tons of greenhouse gasses into the air, polluting land and water, and increasing vulnerability to catastrophic floods, droughts, and diseases as the #ClimateCrisis worsens. Military alliances are not the answer. The real battle is the struggle to save life on our planet. To do that, we must first stop destroying it. Today's guests are Kati Juva Co-President of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War and a coordinator for the International Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons in Finland and Tamara Lorincz, former Executive Director of the Nova Scotia Environmental Network, co-founder of the East Coast Environmental Law Association, and member of the Canadian Voice of #WomenforPeace, and Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom.

At #COP28 in Dubai, Raya Salter and Carlos Garcia host a panel of experts to examine the impact of #MilitaryOperations on the climate. At a time when humanity needs to focus on the restoration of land and water, wars around the planet are destroying cities, lives and ecosystems. Peace is essential for keeping the climate system from catastrophic failure. Tamara Lorincz tells us the amount of money that flows to military operations, and its resource extraction, is over two trillion dollars annually. While Dr. Amara Eniya explains how debt, compunded by droughts and floods that are the direct result of the #ClimateCrisis, is crippling many nations who struggle to provide for the basic needs of their people. John D. Liu is the voice of Commonland, the restoration efforts that are being accomplished around the world, bringing back land and hydrological cycles.
