This TED Talks Daily episode features an interview with Nada Majdalani, the Palestinian Director of EcoPeace Middle East.

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.
