A discussion with Dr.-Ing. Mohammad Assem Mayar, a leading expert on climate, conflict and post conflict recovery, whose research and field experience in Afghanistan, in Syria and in Iraq offer vital insights for practitioners and policy makers worldwide. In conversation with Janani Vivekananda, he discusses the dual challenge of rebuilding in the face of both recurring violence and intensifying climate impacts as countries emerge from conflict.
