In this episode, Shruti Seetharaman and Dr. Seetharaman discuss the long-term consequences of war on climate, economy, and everyday life. From inflation, fuel crises, and market volatility to ocean pollution, air contamination, and food security, the conversation highlights how war disrupts not just nations but the planet itself. They explore how climate action slows during conflict, how countries shift back to coal, and why the poor, farmers, and middle class suffer the most. The key takeaway is clear—peace is not just a political need, but an environmental necessity. Protecting the planet also means protecting humanity, justice, and global prosperity.
