This TED Talks Daily episode features an interview with Nada Majdalani, the Palestinian Director of EcoPeace Middle East. Majdalani discusses the interconnectedness of climate change and conflict in the Middle East, arguing that addressing climate issues can foster cooperation between Israelis, Jordanians, and Palestinians. She details EcoPeace's work in promoting environmental peacebuilding through initiatives like the "Peace Triangle," which proposes regional cooperation on water, energy, and sustainable transport, potentially integrating Gaza into the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor. Majdalani highlights the challenges faced by EcoPeace, including accusations of treason, but emphasizes the importance of pursuing a vision of shared prosperity and peace in the region.
